Chapter 516 Little Zombie

These wooden oxen and horses are just simple puppets.

The structure is also very simple, and they can't do too many actions. They can only move forward, backward and turn mechanically.

It's not even as complicated as Mo Hua's little tiger, but it's enough to transport ore.

Because the structure is simple, only the most basic spiritual pivot array is needed.

There is no need to draw complex sequence array patterns like the corpse king, build hundreds of spiritual pivot levels, and control them layer by layer.

Therefore, Master Yun, who is just learning the spiritual pivot array, can also draw it.

And with Master Yun's help, the progress is much faster.

But after drawing, it's not that simple.

These spiritual pivot arrays and ox and horse puppets still need to be used and debugged.

Mo Hua took the time to go to the mine to try it out to see if these wooden oxen and horses can be used normally.

Debugging is not difficult, but it is more cumbersome.

Mining and transporting ore during the trial requires human help.

Debugging the array, modifying the array, and repairing these wooden oxen and horse puppets also require "human" help.

Mo Hua decided to use zombies instead.

Mo Hua also selected a group of zombies from the corpse mine, let them dig, and then loaded them on the mine cart, and then pulled them out by the wooden ox and flowing horse.

Among these zombies, there was a small zombie.

It was not tall and had a white face.

It was the little zombie who was the first to be changed by Mo Hua in the Ten Thousand Corpses Formation and secretly opened the door for Mo Hua every night.

The corpse mine collapsed in part, and the Ten Thousand Corpses Formation was also destroyed.

When clearing the zombies and coffins in the formation, Mo Hua found that the little zombie was still there.

Because it was too small, it was weak.

Lu Chengyun did not let it go out to fight.

So when the corpse tide was surging and the two sides were fighting fiercely, it stayed quietly in its coffin.

This little zombie was about ten years old, and should be older than Mo Hua, but it was probably born in poverty and had a bad family, so it was thin and small, and didn't look much older than Mo Hua.

I just don't know how he died at such a young age, and how he ended up in Lu Chengyun's hands and was turned into a zombie.

He was in his teens, just beginning his life.

If his family was not well off, he would not have enjoyed much.

Mo Hua felt some sympathy and some regret.

When debugging the wooden ox and flowing horse, he brought it with him on purpose.

Other zombies were mining, digging, and transporting ore.

It followed Mo Hua for a stroll, moving things, sweeping the mine road, and exploring the mountain road.

Or, when the wooden ox and flowing horse broke down, it would listen to Mo Hua and disassemble the puppet for Mo Hua to check, or hand over some pens and ink for Mo Hua to repair the formation...

These not-so-heavy labors were all done by the little zombie.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were also surprised when they saw this little zombie.

Bai Zisheng was mainly angry:

"Lu Chengyun, this bastard, didn't even let such a small cultivator go. I should have stabbed him a few more times at that time!"

Bai Zixi frowned as he looked at the little zombie.

Mo Hua wondered, "Sister, is there something wrong?"

Bai Zixi pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"This little zombie only has corpse qi, no blood qi."

No blood qi?

Mo Hua was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, she understood.

Only corpse qi, no blood qi, means that it is just dead and has been refined into a corpse, but it has not had time to eat people and suck blood.

But this is not surprising.

This little zombie is a little weak and should not be able to kill people.

Even if it has the opportunity to eat meat and drink blood, it can't compete with other zombies.

It can only rely on the evil qi in the corpse coffin to warm the corpse qi.

Bai Zisheng glanced at Mo Hua and asked in confusion: "You don't want to keep it with you forever, do you..."

Mo Hua sighed and shook his head:

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, now that it has become a zombie, it has a destination."

Bai Zisheng curled his lips and muttered:

"You are so old-fashioned at such a young age."

Mo Hua snorted: "You won't get any beef tonight!"

Bai Zisheng immediately gave in:

"Junior brother, I was wrong, what you said just now is right, very right, and makes a lot of sense!"

Bai Zixi sighed slightly, looking at Bai Zisheng with some disdain.

After a while, Bai Zisheng asked again:

"What do you plan to do with this little zombie? Burn it? Daoting's corpse burning array seems to be almost completed..."

Mo Hua was a little entangled, pondered for a moment, and sighed:

"I have drawn the array on it, and it has helped me. It is also a fate. After the matter is settled, let it rest in peace..."

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi also nodded.

...

More than ten days later, the wooden ox and horse have been debugged.

All the ox and horse puppets have also drawn the spiritual pivot array.

As Mo Hua expected, it consumes few spiritual stones, is easy to control, and the wood is durable and powerful. It is more than enough to transport ore.

The only problem is that once it is damaged, no one will repair it.

To repair these puppets, you need to master the spiritual pivot array.

When I and Master Yun leave, no one in Nanyue City will know the spiritual pivot array, and naturally no one will repair these wooden ox and horse.

So when using it normally, you must pay attention to maintenance.

As long as they are used properly and wear out naturally, the lifespan of these cattle and horses is still very long.

Mo Hua told the new chief of Nanyue City about this matter.

The Daoting Division of Nanyue City has been replaced almost from top to bottom.

The new chief is from the Situ family, with the surname Situ and the given name Shen. He seems to be a brother of the previous elder Situ Jin.

Perhaps because of his family's entrustment, or perhaps because he learned many things about Nanyue City from Situ Fang, Situ Shen, who had built his foundation, was very polite to Mo Hua, and even polite, with some respect.

His attitude was very serious.

Nanyue City was an opportunity for him, and also an opportunity for the Situ family.

The matter of the corpse mine was of great importance.

All forces were watching, and if he didn't do well, it would be a loss of face for the Situ family.

Similarly, if he could properly deal with the aftermath, it would be a great achievement, and he would have a good reputation in the clan in the future, and the promotion of Dao Tingsi would also accumulate a lot of merits.

And Mo Hua was a formation master and the "master" of the corpse king.

Dealing with the corpse king and the corpse group required Mo Hua's approval.

Building a new mine and improving the lives of the monks in Nanyue City in the future also depended on Mo Hua.

So he almost gave Mo Hua whatever he asked.

Whatever Mo Hua said, he agreed without hesitation, and did it without any effort.

Mo Hua sighed in his heart.

It seems that the competition within the family is indeed very fierce and the pressure is also very high.

If you don't work hard and spend some time to cook, you probably won't even get to drink the soup.

...

The wooden ox and the flowing horse were built, and the mine was also built.

Then, it was time to start working.

Situ Shen organized the mine repairmen to restart the work.

The mine repairmen were a little hesitant and a little nervous.

They were still frightened by the zombie tide besieging the city.

Although the zombie tide has receded, it is inevitable that there will be some left, especially in the mine, which is deep and filthy, and is the most suitable place for zombies to hide.

They didn't dare to start working.

They were afraid of poverty and suffering, and they were also afraid of encountering zombies and losing their lives.

But they didn't dare not start working.

Because they were really poor, without spiritual stones, they couldn't even eat.

If they started working, if there were zombies in the mine, at most one of them would die.

But if they didn't start working, the whole family would starve to death.

They were nervous and uneasy.

But they didn't realize until they entered the mine that everything was different.

The mine became bigger, more spacious, brighter, and there was wind, neither cold nor hot, but cool.

No more gloomy, no more oppressive feeling.

The foul air was not heavy.

It was much more comfortable to stay inside.

It was not as hard as before.

And there were formations everywhere, and there were even formations to prevent monsters, which made people feel at ease...

"Is this the mine in Nanyue City..."

These miners were a little bit unbelievable.

After that, they gathered together and thanked the headmaster.

Since the construction of Nanyue City, these miners, together with their ancestors, have never entered such a safe mine.

In the mine, for hundreds and thousands of years, the formations that have been set up for these miners, even if all are added up, are not as many as the formations in this mine now.

They were very grateful.

The chief asked everyone to stand up and said:

"Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Mr. Xiao Mo. He calmed down the corpse plague and built this mine for everyone."

The miners bowed and thanked him:

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Mo!"

But they didn't know who Mr. Xiao Mo was...

After that, Situ Shen set some rules.

For example, the miners must not go down the mine for more than four hours a day.

The daily salary must not be less than one spirit stone.

No local family or force can deduct the spirit stones of the miners for any reason...

In addition, Jinhua Street was also banned.

All places for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling were closed.

The female cultivators in the brothel were also contracted to be good.

Those who forced monks to buy and sell, forced good women to become prostitutes, and killed people were all severely punished.

Situ Shen and Mo Hua stood on the city wall and watched Jinhua Street being demolished.

Some shopkeepers, gamblers, villains, brothels, and thugs who were backed by the Lu family and committed all kinds of evil were escorted to the Dao Prison by the Dao Tingsi. They were cursed by the crowd and thrown stones and rotten vegetable leaves along the way.

Some people escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and cried with their relatives.

Some people were lonely and helpless, and were secretly sad.

Most people were indignant and applauded.

Jinhua Street, which had been prosperous for decades and built by Lu Bo Pi, was bright and colorful on the surface but secretly covered with blood and tears. It was completely demolished in broad daylight.

Situ Shen sighed:

"Under the blue sky and white day, the filth and darkness will be exposed."

Mo Hua heard his implication, "Where the sun doesn't shine, is it still the same?"

Situ Shen was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Mo Hua's mind was so sharp.

His subtle thoughts were captured by Mo Hua.

Mo Hua had a deep gaze and a clear mind. Moreover, he had done a favor to the Situ family, so Situ Shen decided to be honest and speak from the bottom of his heart.

"Mr. Xiao Mo," Situ Shen sighed, his voice sinking slightly:

"I have been working in the Daoting Division since I was 30 years old, starting as a small executive, then a director, deputy director, and also served as director of several small immortal cities..."

"This kind of thing, in fact, I have seen a lot..."

"Or, looking at the entire cultivation world, this kind of thing is not uncommon."

"This matter can be resolved only because it is exposed."

"Things exposed are all fair and just, but if they are not exposed, it will be completely different."

"Say something hurtful..."

Situ Shen looked at Mo Hua and whispered:

"Today, as the head of Nanyue City, I can make decisions for these hard-working monks in a fair and just manner, and wipe out these brothels and gambling houses with a righteous look."

"But before that, I will be the head of Nanyue City..."

"It's very likely that he will do the same thing as the previous boss."

"We hang out in brothels together, gamble thousands of dollars, use the bodies of these poor women for entertainment, and indulge in this intoxication."

"Work with the Lu family to oppress, squeeze, and play with these monks..."

Situ Shen's eyes were dim and he added:

"Of course, that's what I mean..."

"The Situ family has a family tradition. The best I can do is to protect myself wisely and not really join the others."

"But most people, even if they say they are righteous, when they really get to that position, they do the same thing as Chief Qian..."

"Even if this matter hadn't become a big deal and some local Tao Ting si protected each other, most of the Lu family's affairs would have been ignored."

"In this world, light and darkness alternate, and people's hearts are complicated..."

"People who stand in the light often look bright and beautiful, but once they stand in the dark, they don't know what they look like..."

"There is not always light, and it is inevitable that you will sometimes walk in the dark..."

Situ Shen looked at the ink painting and said sincerely:

"Mr. Xiao Mo, you must be careful in the future."

Be careful of others as well as yourself...

Situ Shen could see these things clearly, but he could not solve them.

He didn't want the clear Taoist heart in the ink painting to be involved in the quagmire of the fickle human heart, and fall into the darkness of worldly desires, causing pain and confusion.

Mo Hua was thoughtful, then nodded solemnly.

"Thank you, Master Situ!"

Situ Shen can say these heartfelt words only for his own good.

Mo Hua still understood in his heart.

Situ Shen smiled and nodded.

He turned his head again and looked at the demolished Jinhua Street below, sighing slightly in his heart.

This bustling street, which was brightly lit at night and filled with gold and jade, revealed its original shape when the sun shone on it, revealing a filthy and unbearable mess.

In this world of cultivation, even in most places, there is still darkness and injustice.

But after all, there is a ray of light that shines here...

Jinhua Street was destroyed and many monks regained their freedom.

Qinglan came to express her gratitude to Mo Hua, and even brought the Baihua cake she made by herself.

There are no more relatives of hers in Nanyue City.

Qinglan is helpless. Although she can rely on her own efforts, it is still harder.

Situ Fang decided to take her with him. She could teach Qinglan how to practice, and Qinglan could also make meals for her and take care of her daily life.

As a Dian Si, Situ Fang was very busy on weekdays and had no time to take care of herself.

And Situ Fang has family support behind him.

If Qinglan follows her, she will be more stable and will not drift with the tide like a duckweed.

In Mo Hua, Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were sitting in the yard, eating Baihua cake and chatting with Qinglan.

Bai Zixi gave her a skill.

It is not rare in the Bai family, but it is very precious to Qinglan.

Before leaving, Qinglan solemnly saluted and said gratefully:

"If there is any place where I can help the young master and Miss Bai in the future, Qinglan will definitely die without mercy!"

Mo Hua waved his hand, "Sister Qinglan's words are serious."

…

After sending Qinglan away, Elder Su also came to visit the next day.

Elder Su brought some good tea for Mo Hua to taste.

The two of them were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, the breeze was blowing, the water was dense, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing.

Elder Su apologized:

"Little sir, I'm sorry. I didn't know that the head of the Lu family... Lu Chengyun is so ambitious and speaks so freely. That's why the little sir was plotted by him..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Mo Hua didn't care.

If Lu Chengyun didn't make up his mind, he wouldn't be able to learn the Lingshu Formation, eat the visualization diagrams, completely solve the corpse problem in Nanyue City, or help them rebuild the mines.

Casual cultivators in Nanyue City are also very miserable.

Mo Hua was also a casual cultivator, and he still remembered his mother's words.

If you encounter casual cultivators who are struggling in life, please help within the scope of your ability.

Elder Su sighed: "Young gentleman, you are really broad-minded..."

Although Elder Su had always been a bit stiff in flattering him, Mo Hua was still quite happy to hear it.

Mo Hua had a smile on his face, but he said modestly:

"Where there."

Seeing that Mo Hua didn't blame him, Elder Su felt relieved.

The atmosphere became much more harmonious.

The two of them were chatting about formations and trivial matters as usual.

As we talked, we talked about Jinhua Street and Baihua Building...

Elder Su said gratefully:

"For the Jinhua Street matter, I have to thank Mr. Xiao."

Mo Hua nodded, suddenly confused, "Jinhua Street has been demolished. Elder, you can't go to Baihua Tower to listen to music. Do you have to thank me for this?"

Elder Su blushed, "No, I'm really unfamiliar..."

Mo Hua clearly didn't believe it.

Seeing Mo Hua's transparent eyes, Elder Su knew that he knew everything, and no longer concealed it, but looked sad:

"Silk and bamboo are pleasing to the ear, and beautiful women are pleasing to the eye."

"It's a pity that I can't hear or see."

"But these are just small selfish desires and nothing."

"What I hope even more is that no one will live in the world anymore, and there will no longer be a miserable girl like Narcissus..."

Mo Hua was startled, then picked up the teacup and said crisply:

"I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

Elder Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still raised his glass and drank a cup of tea with Mo Hua...

...

The matter of Nanyue City is almost over.

The mine has been built and the formation has been perfected.

The miners in Nanyue City can also earn spiritual stones and make a living through their own efforts, and live steadily and safely.

In addition, thousands of zombies will also be burned.

The corpse burning formation of Daoting has been built.

The corpse burning formation is a complex formation built on the grave mountain. It is composed of a single fire formation, covering a large area. When it is running, the fire rises, and the whole grave mountain is red, as if it has become a mountain of fire.

All the zombies in Nanyue City are queuing up for cremation.

Mo Hua controls the zombies, and they enter the corpse burning formation in batches, burning their bodies, dissolving the corpse gas, and removing all the corpse poison.

All zombies must be incinerated.

This process is relatively long.

The only one that was not cremated was the little zombie.

It had never been stained with blood, nor had any bad consequences, and it had helped Mo Hua.

Mo Hua also felt sympathy for it, so he set up a formation to release its corpse qi, and buried it on a remote but quiet hill in the cemetery.

The hill was desolate, but quiet, and no one disturbed it.

Every evening, when the sun set, the sunset would sprinkle on the hill and on the small grave that Mo Hua had built for it...
