Chapter 1601 Fellow Daoist, Please Wait 11
A thousand-year obsession?
In an instant, all sorts of strange and monstrous creatures flashed through Song Jinhuan's mind, but none of them matched the extraordinary handsome face not far away.
"Father, what exactly is it?"
Song Jinhuan gripped the sword hilt tightly, moved to Song Yuande's side, and asked quietly.
Song Yuande: "While tracking the breath of evil spirits, I accidentally entered a tomb... and unexpectedly opened the coffin. He was the owner of the tomb."
"Look, the mud on his monk's robe is still fresh!"
Song Jinhuan looked over and was caught off guard when their eyes met. His light brown pupils seemed to be able to hold only her figure.
She hissed inwardly, "Dad, don't you think he's a bit dull, stiff all over, and rather slow to react?"
He stared at her for a long time without even blinking.
Song Yuande nodded slightly. "I suspect it's a type of zombie, old but not high-level. It doesn't have a trace of evil energy, but it is still an extremely yin creature. If someone with ulterior motives were to make it into a puppet, its destructive power would be unimaginable."
"But if we take advantage of his ignorance and guide him carefully, he will become a good helper in time."
It is not uncommon for Taoist priests to raise corpses.
As Song Yuande spoke, he made calculations with his fingers. Suddenly, the pad of his thumb stopped at the middle of his middle finger. He looked down at Song Jinhuan, then looked up at the monk. His brows furrowed, and his expression gradually became serious.
Song Jinhuan's heart leaped into her throat. Seeing him stop, she couldn't help but ask, "Father, what's wrong?"
"You have a deep connection with him..."
Song Yuande pondered for a moment, "If he is willing to be with you, then you must take good care of him."
I have to say, her father is quite capable.
They're all her mission targets, how could she not have any ties to them?
"Dad, is he in danger?" Song Jinhuan was a little worried. Generally speaking, the old man's destructive power was very strong!
Even if it seems harmless at first.
The most terrifying thing is when someone takes a life without even realizing it.
“Yongan, Chengliang, and I have been standing around him for quite a while, but he just stays in the same spot.”
“I was just about to put up a talisman to take him back when you arrived.”
Song Jinhuan understood, took two steps back, and let Song Yuande step forward.
Unexpectedly, the figure staring at her moved slowly a little bit in her direction.
This subtle movement made Song Yuande, Cheng Yong'an, and Ma Chengliang all turn to look at Song Jinhuan.
Song Jinhuan felt a pang of guilt. "W-what's wrong?"
Song Yuande pointed in a direction and said, "Try taking two steps this way."
Although she didn't know what had happened, Song Jinhuan still obeyed.
Sure enough, as soon as one side moved, the other side moved as well.
After pointing in several directions, Song Yuande concluded that it was indeed a destined bond.
Cheng Yong'an and Ma Chengliang stopped being wary and surrounded them.
Song Jinhuan understood what was going on and secretly sighed at how clever she was.
"Father, what's his name?"
Song Yuande thought about it carefully, "The tombstone is only half there, and the inscription is blurry, but I can vaguely make out the character 'jade'."
"Could it be that his Buddhist name contains the character for 'jade'?" Song Jinhuan guessed.
“It’s highly likely…we should go back to our lodgings first.” Song Yuande glanced at Song Jinhuan’s tattered clothes with obvious disdain.
As the sun set, a group of people walked ahead, with one figure following steadfastly behind.
The faint sunlight cast their shadows long and slanted on the ground.
Song Jinhuan glanced back every now and then, looking at the ever-widening distance, feeling somewhat uneasy.
After greeting her father and fellow disciples, she jogged over to the figure and said, "Xiaoyu, how about I call you Xiaoyu from now on?"
The man called Xiaoyu didn't seem to understand, he just stared blankly at her.
