Chapter 122 Purple Zombie
At this moment, in a dilapidated house at the end of Anle Village, Zhao Xiaohei was looking at Yuchan in his hand with obsession.
"Baby, baby, I'm relying on you to find a wife."
"Xiao Hei, why didn't you tell me when Lao San and the others came to ask you?"
"What if this thing really has evil properties..."
Mother Zhao looked at her son with concern. She wanted to persuade him but found that he was looking at her with disgust.
"Bah, what do you know as a woman?"
"This is called not showing off your wealth. Everyone in the village is eyeing these treasures."
"Luckily, I saw Zhang Laosan and his friends sneaking into the back mountain that night, otherwise they would have taken the treasure for themselves."
Mother Zhao still spoke with some concern:
"But those masters said that this thing belonged to an ancient corpse in the ancestral temple. Otherwise, we should..."
Zhao Xiaohei pushed Zhao's mother to the ground, cursing at her.
"What masters? They're just a bunch of liars who want to keep the treasure for themselves."
Zhao Xiaohei snorted coldly:
"I don't know what's wrong with the village chief and his men. They actually believed what a few women said."
"Wait until I sell this treasure, and then I'll marry those three women home."
"What if those monsters come to our door? I heard from the villagers that they look like zombies."
Zhao Xiaohei laughed and took out a handful of glutinous rice and a bowl of black stuff from the corner.
"What are you afraid of? I already bought some sticky rice and even stole and killed Chen Si's chicken. This is rooster blood. Even a zombie would think twice before coming after me."
Just as Zhao's mother was about to say something, she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
“Who is it?”
Zhao Xiaohei shouted impatiently, and just as he was about to open the door, he was stopped by Zhao's mother who was on the ground.
"Xiao Hei, who knows what's outside? Let's not open the door."
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaohei hesitated for a moment and dropped his hand from the door handle.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong"
The knocking on the door outside was getting louder and louder, and the door seemed to be shaking, as if it would fall down at any moment.
Zhao Xiaohei was also a little scared. Without caring about his mother who was lying on the ground, he ran back to his room and closed the door tightly.
He breathed a sigh of relief only when he could no longer hear any noise outside.
Zhao Xiaohei took Yuchan out again and looked at her carefully. The moonlight outside the window shone on her, and Yuchan actually emitted a faint fluorescence.
"What a treasure."
"It's worth it that I took so much effort to get you out of those monsters' mouths."
Zhao Xiaohei involuntarily moved closer to the window, wanting to take another good look at Yuchan in the moonlight, without noticing that two pairs of green eyes were staring at him outside the window.
Feng Tianning and his companions, who were staying at the village chief's house on high alert, felt a little strange.
"Tianning, it's almost two o'clock, why hasn't Zijiang come yet?"
Feng Tianning also shook his head in confusion.
These three purple zombies were placed in the ancestral temple of Anle Village by humans, and someone placed the Yin-gathering artifact on them.
These artificially raised zombies will kill anyone who takes their belongings, even if that person is at the ends of the earth, to get the treasure back.
They already had the jade ring and jade pendant in their hands. Logically, the purple zombie should have come looking for them, unless...
They looked at each other and understood what was in each other's eyes.
"Someone had something and didn't hand it in, so Zi Jiang went to find him?"
"That's right, and the thing in that person's hand is probably much more powerful than these underworld artifacts. That's why Zi Jiang gave up on us and went looking for someone else."
A scream came from the end of the village, breaking the thick darkness.
“Oh no!”
Feng Tianning and the other two did not hesitate any longer. They rushed out of the village chief's house and ran hurriedly towards the place where the screams came from.
When they rushed to Zhao Xiaohei's house, they found nine round holes several centimeters deep on his door, as if they were poked out by someone's fingers.
"Strange, why are there nine fingers?" Fu Ruxuan murmured.
"It's too late. Let's go in and save people first."
Xuan Gou Chen kicked open the door of Zhao Xiaohei's house, and when he looked up, he met the eyes of three zombies.
They raised their hands, two sharp fangs extended from their mouths, and their faces looked even paler under the moonlight above their heads.
"Zombies from the Qing Dynasty?"
Fu Ruxuan asked doubtfully.
The purple zombie in front of them looked not much different from the zombies they imagined. It was wearing the blue official uniform of the Qing Dynasty and a red official hat on its head. The exposed skin was almost all purple.
Fu Ruxuan's gaze fell on their fingers, and she discovered that their index fingers, middle fingers, and ring fingers were more than twice as long as those of normal people, and had sharp nails on them.
No wonder there are nine holes on the door, Fu Ruxuan understood.
"Master! Go and save my son!"
The moment Zhao's mother saw the three of them, she howled as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
But this action seemed to anger the three purple zombies, and they stretched out their hands to grab Zhao's mother.
At this moment, Zhao's mother's legs were completely limp and she couldn't move at all. She could only watch the hands getting closer and closer to her and closed her eyes in despair.
But the imagined pain did not fall on her. When Zhao's mother opened her eyes, she found that there seemed to be a ball of blue-red fire on the zombie in front of her.
The purple zombie couldn't withstand the Qilin's karmic fire. It made a series of "ho ho" sounds from its mouth, and its body became more and more purple.
"They are using corpse energy to resist your karmic fire."
Feng Tianning summoned the Hongmeng Holy Sword, and both he and the sword attacked the purple zombie almost at the same time.
The three purple zombies looked at each other in a humane manner, and the next moment they jumped into the dense forest in the back mountain. Their speed was so fast that Feng Tianning couldn't catch up for a while.
Fu Ruxuan hurriedly helped Zhao's mother up.
"Are you all right?"
Mother Zhao's hands couldn't stop shaking, and she was trembling as she said something. Fu Ruxuan lowered her head and could barely hear a few words:
"Save...save Xiao Hei, go quickly...save...Xiao Hei."
Fu Ruxuan winked at Xuan Gou Chen, indicating that she should go to the back room to check. But she didn't know what was going on until she saw it.
Zhao Xiaohei stared out the window with his eyes fixed, his face full of fear, and he was leaning against the wall, already dead.
When Zhao's mother arrived later and saw this scene, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"What's going on?"
Xuan Gou Chen frowned and approached Zhao Xiaohei, reaching out to feel his breath.
Fu Ruxuan's expression was also somewhat serious. After observing for a long time, she finally said:
"Looks like...scared to death."
Xuan Gou Chen was also speechless. Zhao Xiaohei had the courage to hide the things in the ancestral temple and not hand them over, but he was actually scared to death by zombies.
"Where's Tianning?"
The two looked around but didn't see Feng Tianning, and they suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Just now... did Tianning chase out?" Fu Ruxuan asked uncertainly.
