Chapter 211 Little Zombie's Black Moonlight Taoist Priest 09
As night falls, the sky becomes a deep velvet, dotted with countless twinkling stars. Moonlight falls softly, covering the earth with a layer of silver gauze.
The woods appear mysterious and quiet in the night, with swaying tree shadows and mottled moonlight dancing on the forest path, forming dreamy patches of light and shadow.
Occasionally, a nocturnal animal would pass through the bushes, making a slight noise, but soon everything returned to calm, with only the leaves rustling gently in the wind.
Following the young man's instructions, Shen Xinran turned left, then right, and then walked along the path after leaving the forest.
As soon as I got close, I smelled a pungent smell of blood, mixed with the scent of earth and death.
Shen Xinran raised his head and saw a gloomy black air, or corpse qi, filling the sky above the battlefield.
It circled in the night sky, sometimes condensing into a dark cloud like a devil's tentacle, and sometimes dispersing.
Like a messenger of death, it searches everywhere for the spark of life, trying to devour it.
Shen Xinran pushed Yue Minglei's shoulder and frowned, "Haven't you always wanted to go? Now we're here, go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Yue Minglei's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked, "What about you?"
Shen Xinran rolled his eyes, "With so much corpse energy, you're trying to kill me!"
Yue Minglei thought Shen Xinran was going to harm him, so he subconsciously took a step back and said warily, "Then my life is no longer a life!"
Shen Xinran smiled unhappily, "You're already a zombie, what are you afraid of? These corpse qi are a rare tonic for you."
A hint of surprise flashed in Yue Minglei's eyes. "Are you serious?"
Shen Xinran nodded and said "hmm".
Yue Minglei stepped onto the battlefield without hesitation and walked towards the place where the black air was the thickest.
Just as Shen Xinran said, the black air seemed to have been summoned by something, and it kept gathering towards him, wrapping him in darkness.
Yue Minglei felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. The black air moistened his body like a sweet rain, and every strand of black air made him feel extremely satisfied and comfortable.
This feeling was stronger than drinking blood. It made him feel an indescribable joy and power. He felt that he had become stronger in an instant.
…
It took some time for Yue Minglei to absorb the corpse qi. Shen Xinran felt bored, so he found a tree and sat on the branch to eat a cucumber.
This cucumber was sent by that group of young people, and it tastes pretty good.
Just when I was halfway through my meal, I heard a sound of orderly footsteps. It was the patrolling soldiers.
Shen Xinran quickly curled up, trying to cover himself with the night and leaves.
Footsteps approached from afar. Just as the soldiers were about to leave, the man leading the group, probably an officer, suddenly shouted, "Who is it?"
He turned his head suddenly and stared at Shen Xinran in the tree.
Shen Xinran smiled at the officer, then jumped from one tree to another, ready to escape.
"Chase him!" The officer's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. After giving orders to the people behind him, he ran towards Shen Xinran.
Shen Xinran jumped on the tree, and the officer and his men chased him under the tree.
It’s not that Shen Xinran’s talismans have been used up, but Taoism has a rule that exorcists cannot attack ordinary people, otherwise it will damage their merits.
Seeing that the officer was about to catch up, Shen Xinran shouted to the sky: "Help! The officer is beating people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow passed by like a ghost, carrying a suffocating corpse smell, and its speed was as fast as lightning that cuts through the night sky.
Seeing this, Shen Xinran stopped running and stood on the tree, admiring the scene of the fight between the shadows and the soldiers.
The black shadow was like a silent god of death, approaching the soldier silently. With just one move, the soldier fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
Shen Xinran shook her head and sighed inwardly: After Yue Minglei absorbed the corpse energy, he was simply a walking killing weapon. Even she couldn't guarantee that she could completely defeat him now.
A tense atmosphere filled the woods, and Yue Minglei clenched his fists, as if ready to attack again at any time.
Shen Xinran's brows were furrowed. "That's enough. Don't really beat him to death."
The black energy on Yue Minglei's body became thicker and thicker, his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and he secretly swore in his heart: I must beat him to death to be worthy of his dead brothers.
Shen Xinran keenly noticed Yue Minglei's abnormality. She jumped down from the tree without hesitation, her body agile like a cheetah.
She gripped the exorcist stick tightly and struck Yue Minglei's head with lightning speed, saying sternly, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Yue Minglei was stunned and instinctively wanted to fight back, but when he turned around and saw Shen Xinran's cold eyes, the anger and murderous intent in his heart began to slowly dissipate.
Yue Minglei turned around and faced Shen Xinran with his back, feeling an indescribable depression in his chest.
He clearly came to save her, but she didn't appreciate it and even hit him, which made him feel confused and wronged.
Shen Xinran glanced at Yue Minglei, then turned coldly to the soldiers lying on the ground. Her voice was devoid of any warmth: "Why don't you leave quickly?"
The officer struggled to get up from the ground, his hands covering his chest, a flash of surprise in his eyes: "I heard that a pair of exorcists came to Guqiao Town, it seems to be you!"
Shen Xinran's eyes flashed, he raised his chin, and said proudly: "I will not change my name, I am Ma Jingwen."
"I'll remember that." The officer sneered and left with his soldiers in disappointment.
Yue Minglei finally turned around and looked at Shen Xinran with a hint of confusion in his eyes. Isn’t her name Mao Danfeng?
Shen Xinran rarely showed his temper, and explained to Yue Minglei: "When traveling in the martial arts world, reporting other people's names can save a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Ma Jingwen, who was a hundred miles away: "..."
So you're throwing the trouble on me?
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, she realized that Yue Minglei was covered in black energy, which seemed to be overflowing. She frowned and said, "Take back your black energy."
Yue Minglei opened his eyes wide, looking confused: "How do I collect it?"
"I don't even know how to do this!" Shen Xinran complained softly, but then he put his hands together, pointed his fingertips downward, quickly separated them, and pushed his palms outwards, demonstrating to Yue Minglei.
Yue Minglei followed Shen Xinran's movements, and the black energy on his body really began to gather in his body. But soon after, Yue Minglei felt something was wrong, and he quickly stopped.
Shen Xinran looked at Yue Minglei, who only showed his head, and stopped talking. A faint blush seemed to appear on his face.
Shen Xinran frowned and asked, "Haven't you learned it yet?"
Yue Minglei shook his head and stammered, "I...I think it's pretty good now."
He couldn't say that his clothes were corroded by the black air and he was now completely naked!
Shen Xinran nodded, "Do whatever you want to do quickly, we'll leave tomorrow."
Yue Minglei glanced at Shen Xinran and said cautiously, "I want them all to rest in peace."
Shen Xinran's eyes widened. "Then go ahead and dig a hole. Don't expect me to help you."
Yue Minglei grinned, revealing his standard eight big teeth, "Okay, then you can rest here first."
