Chapter 1063: The First Seventh Village
The zombie was close at hand. In desperation, Qingyang could only take out a stone from behind and hit the armored zombie on the head. Unexpectedly, the zombie's defense was amazing. Qingyang hit it several times, but not only did it not hurt the opponent, Instead, it completely aroused the zombie's ferocity.
Seeing that Qingyang was about to suffer disaster, he heard a soft popping sound, and then saw the armored zombie falling to the ground with a wailing sound, then twisting and twitching continuously, and stopped moving after a few breaths.
It turned out that just when Qingyang was attracting the zombie, the corpse exorcist finally freed his hand, forced his body to come behind the zombie, and stabbed the armored zombie's vital part with his sword.
This armored zombie is not of a high level. How can he hold on when he is stabbed in the vital part by a medium-grade copper coin sword? He died soon after. The man seemed to think it was not safe, so he attached a few talismans to the armored zombie's body, and lit the corpse on the ground with a fire. It was not until the raging flames burned the armored zombie into a ball of ashes that he finally felt relieved. .
After dealing with the zombie matter, the Taoist turned his head, looked at Qingyang and said: "Thank you for your help just now, my friend. If it weren't for you, I would be dead this time."
Qingyang's current appearance is no different from that of ordinary people, and the Taoist can't see anything unusual. An ordinary young man dares to help when faced with vicious zombies. This talent is especially rare.
Qingyang didn't explain too much, just waved his hand and said: "I walked on the mountain road for a day and spent the night in a cave next to it. If this zombie kills you, it will be easy to find it, and it will not be spared by then, so I I rushed out boldly just to protect myself.”
"My friend, you are humble. I see that you have little cultivation, but you can rush out at that moment. This courage is admirable. No matter what, I must thank you for your life-saving grace." The Taoist shook his head, and then continued He asked: "There are many dangers here. I wonder why my friend came here alone?"
Qingyang had already thought of his words and said: "I have been practicing with my master in a small Taoist temple in the mountains. Later, the Taoist temple was occupied by bandits and my master suffered a disaster. I was also chopped several times and thrown into the river to feed the fish. It's just that I am lucky to have survived, but I still don’t know where to go.”
The Taoist looked Qingyang up and down and said, "No wonder I saw that you were weak on your feet and lacked strength. It turns out that you have not recovered after being injured. Those bandits are so hateful that they even refused to let go of the monks. Little brother Since we have nowhere to go, why not follow me first? Although our village is not big, there are a few capable people and strangers, so we can still settle down and make a living."
"I wonder where my brother lives?" Qingyang asked.
The corpse exorcist said: "The village I live in is called Touqi Village, which is about three hundred miles south of here. The village is not big, with only a few hundred people. But I have to carry these corpses on the road, so the speed may be slow. For some, it takes about four to five days to arrive.”
Four or five days is not a long time. Fortunately, I met this Taoist exorcist. If I were to search for it by myself, I probably wouldn’t be able to find it in a month or two. Qingyang said: "Okay, I will follow my brother. My body is not strong yet." He's recovering, and he's not walking very fast, so he's a good companion on the road."
"As long as you don't think I'm unlucky," the man said.
Then the two exchanged names. The corpse exorcist's surname was Mao, and others called him Taoist Mao. He was over forty years old. Qingyang looked much younger than him, so he could only call himself his younger brother.
After the two discussed, they did not set off immediately. After resting for a while, the Taoist priest Mao took out a stack of talismans, burned them into ashes and sprinkled them on the five corpses. Then he used cinnabar to re-dot the seven orifices, and the five-color cloth strips were also Re-tied. These corpses were temporarily controlled by armored zombies before, and they were more or less contaminated with corpse energy. There was quite a lot of ghost energy in the Fallen Ghost Abyss. If not dealt with, they would turn into zombies over time, causing endless trouble.
Qingyang had heard of corpse exhumation when he was following Master Song He, but he had never seen it. It is said that people who die in a foreign country want to return to their roots, but the corpse is not lucky enough to go back. The living people are dissatisfied with transporting the corpse. Unlucky, cars and ships are reluctant to carry them, especially when the roads are difficult to navigate, even cars and ships can't move, so the industry of exorcising corpses was born.
Carrying corpses is too troublesome, but corpse exorcists use some secret methods to control corpses so that they can walk on their own without any road blocking them. In this way, one person can transport several corpses back at one time. It is a bit slow, but the rewards are also generous. of.
Taoist Mao has been doing this for many years and has encountered a lot of troubles, but it has never been as dangerous as this time. He encountered such a powerful armored zombie sneak attack on the way. If Qingyang hadn't come to his aid, he would have almost died. I lost my life here.
After the corpses were disposed of, Taoist Mao continued to lead the way with the gong in hand. The five corpses were neatly lined up behind, while Qingyang walked at the end with a cane.
With Taoist Mao and the five corpses accompanying him, it didn't feel lonely on the road. However, driving the corpses easily aroused other people's taboos, so Qingyang and Taoist Mao could only go out during the day and night, and drove the five corpses at night. The body was on its way, so during the day the only option was to find a ventilated and cool cave to hide the body in order to prevent it from rotting after being exposed to the sun.
The road was relatively safe. Not to mention pedestrians, not even a wild beast was encountered. Taoist Mao didn't like to talk too much, and Qingyang was not in the mood to talk too much. The two of them kept busy on their way, and the three hundred miles journey only took In three days, seeing that it was not far from the first seven villages that Taoist Mao mentioned, Taoist Mao stopped at a fork in the road and said: "These five corpses are from the village on the left. I will deliver them to them overnight." I went to bury them in the past, but the family there didn’t like strangers. Brother Qingyang, why not go back to the Seventh Village first. There is a small inn in the center of the village. The owner has been a friend of mine for many years. You only need to tell me your name to check in. The owner will not charge you At your expense.”
In the past five days, Qingyang's health has been getting better day by day, and he is no longer much different from a normal person. However, after all, he has been seriously injured and has traveled so many days in a row. He is a little tired physically and mentally, so he nodded, and then Taoist Mao drove the five bodies The corpse turned to the left, while Qingyang continued to walk forward.
After walking four or five miles, a river suddenly appeared in front of us. The river was not wide, only a little over three feet, but the water was very deep. If you throw a stone, there will be no reply for a long time, and there is no sound on the river. There is no boat under the bridge, which is a bit embarrassing.
Qingyang is not afraid of the water in the river, and the water cannot drown him, but now his strength has not been restored, and his abilities in all aspects are similar to ordinary people. If he walks in the middle and is washed by the river, and his body is washed downstream uncontrollably, It's not easy to come back here.
