Chapter 52
"No, I know how to save everyone." Shi Buxi was not interrupted by General Sang this time and spoke directly.
General Sang's pupils shrank slightly, and before he could say anything, the zombies who had been eavesdropping in the outer courtyard rushed in excitedly. Because there were too many people and the entrance was too narrow, the zombies, who were as fragile as clay dolls, had their hands and feet torn off like shredded paper in an instant.
"Stop."
"stop."
Shi Buxi and General Sang shouted at the same time. However, the zombies in front, who were insensitive to pain, didn't realize their limbs had fallen off. The zombies behind them didn't know what was happening and continued to squeeze in. They asked with surprise and choked voices, "Really? Really?"
Seeing that the situation was out of control, Shi Bushi finally realized how serious General Sang's warning was. He quickly took out a few talismans from his arms, chanted a spell, and swung his hand. The talismans flew out, and with a flash of light, everything became quiet.
General Sang: This trick is more useful than mental power.
"I'll find someone to move them to the clinic. Since you've decided to stay, tell me where you need help." General Sang was also very excited. Even though his face was paralyzed by the corpse poison, he still showed an expression that was difficult to suppress.
"Not yet. I'll go to the Four Sacred Mountains to set up the formation first, and I'll leave this place to you." Every time Shi Buxi saw the zombies falling around, his heart ached, and he just wanted to solve this matter quickly.
"Okay." General Sang responded, hesitated, and finally said nothing.
Shi Buxi quickly left "Le Tao Ju", went down from the main peak, and headed towards the mountains extending from the main peak.
When the doctor received the news and came over with the nurse, he almost fainted when he saw the group of zombies with broken limbs and arms and legs immobilized. Then, when he heard General Sang say that Shi Buyi had a way to save them and was already setting up the battle array, he finally swallowed his breath.
"Kunlun is the source of the world's dragon veins. It is protected by the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. To suppress the dragon veins, we must first awaken the four supreme gods, and then set up the Zhoutian Star Array in Tai Chi, before we can achieve great success." Shi Buyi muttered to himself, going over the preparations needed to set up the Zhoutian Star Array in his mind while hurrying on his way.
The four peaks of the Four Great Gods were located above and below the main peak, quite far apart. Shi Buxi had learned the formations and talismans well, but his physical skills were not. When he reached the first peak, he could barely stand. When he reached the second peak, he just wanted to lie down. So he thought, and so he did.
"I'm so hungry." Shi Buxi muttered with his mouth closed. It seemed like he hadn't eaten for another day.
Ever since the zombie outbreak, there has been little sunlight in the Kunlun Mountains. Lying on the top of the mountain, the wind is blowing, just like the coldest month of winter.
It's so cold.
Shi Buxi muttered to himself, and turned over to curl up, but unexpectedly fell on a pair of strong arms. Frightened, he opened his eyes immediately, and what came into view was a white mask.
The Zombie King picked up the boy and was about to go down the mountain when he was hugged tightly by the boy's arm, "There are still two more hills."
Shi Buxi didn't want to go through this again, so he pointed to another hill.
The Zombie King did not respond to Shi Buyi, but just looked at him deeply, held him in his arms and walked slowly in the direction he pointed.
"Where have you been?" Shi Buyi's eyes fell on his smooth chin, and above that was the mask, which he wanted to lift.
"Witness." The Zombie King responded briefly.
Shi Buxi blinked for a moment before he understood. He said happily, "Did you find Academician Liang and the others?"
The Zombie King frowned slightly, trying to recall if the man he had captured was the one his little queen wanted. However, his mind went blank, and he couldn't remember anything. He only thought, "The aura is very similar to mine."
Shi Buxi: Who is it?
With the addition of the Zombie King, the remaining two hills were quickly arranged.
Shi Buyi was hungry, tired, and sleepy. He leaned against the Zombie King's arms, letting him carry him toward the main peak. He yawned, his eyelids about to close when he suddenly remembered something. He strained to open his eyes and reached out to lift the Zombie King's mask. He paused briefly and continued walking. Little did he know that the young man in his arms, who had just lifted the mask, was beating his heart and blushing.
Apart from the youth in the dream, Shi Buyi had only seen Zong Zhengqing once. The light was dim that time, and he only knew that he was good-looking, but he didn't know he was so stunning.
He had once heard the line from a poem: "Autumn water is the spirit, jade is the bones." At the time, he had thought it was an exaggeration, wondering how anyone in the world could possibly be so stunningly beautiful. But now he believed it.
Marrying him doesn't seem to be a bad idea.
My eyes slowly closed, and I fell asleep with a pounding heart and fatigue.
Shi Buxi was woken up by hunger, and there was the sound of gongs and drums in his ears. If you didn't know, you would think there was a wedding banquet going on somewhere!
Wedding banquet? I'm so hungry!
Shi Buxi opened his eyes while holding his stomach, and a big face appeared in front of him, scaring him so much that he almost jumped out of bed.
"Xiao Xi, you finally woke up." Zong Ziyu lay on the edge of the bed, about to cry.
"Why are you here?" Shi Buyi was surprised, but then he remembered Zong Zhengqing had captured the person. He immediately stood up and asked, "Are Academician Liang and the others here too?"
"Academician Liang and the others were left by my cousin in the 80-story building at the foot of the mountain!" Zong Ziyu almost cried when he recalled how his cousin had driven them to the 80th floor.
"Who is your cousin?" Shi Buyi asked.
"Your Majesty! I only found out recently," Zong Ziyu said, tired of squatting. He sat down on the ground, shook his head, and then, as if remembering something, asked in surprise, "Did you know that His Majesty was going to marry you?"
Shi Buxi was stunned, and inexplicably thought of the sound of gongs and drums still ringing outside.
"Let me tell you, as far as I know, His Majesty has had only one wish since childhood, which is to marry his little queen. You may not be able to escape." Zong Ziyu said slowly.
"I don't want to run away." Shi Buyi hugged the quilt, half of his face buried in it, his cheeks hot. At worst, "Marry first, love later!"
"What did you say?" Zong Ziyu didn't hear clearly and turned to look at him.
"Nothing, how did you get here?" Shi Buyi asked.
"I was brought here to be the witness! It was originally at the doctor's office, where there were many people alive. But I figured I had to come over and tell you that we had to save Academician Liang and the others. It's terrifying." Zong Ziyu got goosebumps thinking of the monsters in the miasma forest. "By the way, is Zuo Yue still broadcasting live?"
When he mentioned this, Shi Buxi remembered that she had turned off her livestream for a long time. After a moment's thought, she unhooked the terminal from her wrist and flipped open the screen, which was filled with Zuo Yue's communications and messages. She clicked on the link Zuo Yue had sent her earlier and started the livestream.
The audience who had been waiting anxiously were sending comments crazily, asking what happened to Shi Buxi?
"I'm fine." Shi Buyi saw that everyone was anxious, so he reported that he was safe first.
[Emperor Zong is here,] Zuo Yue's voice came out, and you could hear him sighing with relief, [I'm glad you're all okay.]
"Academician Liang and the others are still trapped on the 80th floor!" Zong Ziyu said with despair.
“Why are you trapped?” Zuo Yue was surprised.
"Because there were zombies pouring in from below, and Your Majesty probably thought they would take Xiaoxi away, so they 'hung' her up there and got married first." Zong Ziyu speculated this because when he was taken away, he asked to take Academician Liang and the others with him, but his cousin only uttered five words, "They will steal her from me."
Zong Ziyu thought about it and decided that the "stealing people" he mentioned should refer to the time when Xiaoxi had been following them during the previous show.
[Then, we have to go save them!] Zuo Yue swallowed hard.
"Don't worry, I'll find a chance to go down the mountain tonight." Shi Buxi heard the music and dancing outside and knew that he couldn't leave now. He was also afraid that if he left, that person would go crazy.
Zuo Yue nodded, feeling relieved, and continued: [Then…then…then…]
"Where's your tape? Bad signal?" Zong Ziyu listened to Zuo Yue's "that" for a long time without saying a word. Only when he saw the barrage of reminders did he turn around stiffly, meet those cold eyes, tremble, and try to force a smile, "Cousin, I, I'm afraid Xiaoxi will be nervous, so I came to comfort him."
The Zombie King simply glanced at him, walked to Shi Buyi's bedside, knelt on one knee, and looked at the boy. This time, the boy stayed in his dream for a long time, which was great. His cold fingers stroked the boy's face, "Get married."
"I am a Taoist. If you betray me, I know how to use formations and talismans. I have thousands of ways to make you suffer. I can even turn you into a puppet." Shi Buyi sat up straight, looked at him seriously, and continued, "Have you thought it through?"
Shi Buxi has never thought about who he would spend his life with, but once he really decides to be with someone, he will not tolerate betrayal.
"Okay." The Zombie King's eyes, which had always been calm, revealed a scorching light, as if in the next second, he would turn into a puppet and stick to the boy every second.
"He's in love." Zong Ziyu secretly moved his butt to the side. This cousin is so perverted.
"Then let's get married!" Shi Buyi smiled, stood up from the bed, and said to the expressionless man, "Change your clothes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Ziyu reached out and grabbed the camera and ran away without the Zombie King asking him to chase him away.
The Taiyuan Temple, which had been silent for thousands of years, was bustling with activity again, although this activity was a bit weird. In the Taiyuan Temple Square, which was hung with red lanterns and red silk, a group of young zombies, including children, dressed in all kinds of new clothes, were running around swayingly, with stiff smiles on their stiff faces. Occasionally, a hand or a foot would fall off, and the nurse would shout and lift them up and run to the clinic.
The doctor frowned as he watched, but thinking about today, he decided to give up, as it was rare for him to be happy.
Not far from the tripod in the square, a group of soldiers in military uniforms were trying to straighten their backs, with mist in their lifeless eyes.
However, no one laughed at them. The hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the live broadcast room just felt their eyes were red, and those with high empathy had already burst into tears.
Those who thought the scene was too unusual would at most say: "Haha, it looks like the Ghost King is getting married."
No one said a bad word, no one made a mockery.
Because this is not only the wedding of the Zombie King and Shi Buxi, but also the hope of the zombies who have been trapped here for thousands of years and yearn for the sun.
"...a marriage certificate, mounted in the nine heavens, echoing in the nine netherworlds..."
“…United in purpose and unwavering in our resolve…”
Zong Ziyu's long voice echoed in front of Taiyuan Temple.
Shi Buyi led the Zombie King to kneel before the Grandmaster, kowtowed three times and nine times, and looked at the Grandmaster's face. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy. But when he turned around and saw the happy faces of the zombies, he felt at ease again. It was nothing he couldn't handle.
