Chapter 224 Little Zombie's Black Moonlight Taoist Priest 22
Shen Xinran looked at Yue Minglei who had been silent, and could only ask him: "Are you okay? Can you get up?"
Yue Minglei finally came to his senses. He nodded and stood up from the ground.
This made Shen Xinran shake her head. She was also seriously injured by Chonggu, and she recovered after taking the life-extending pill, while Yue Minglei recovered after lying on the ground for a while.
As expected of a green zombie, its self-healing ability is truly amazing!
But if the green zombie is so powerful, wouldn't Chonggu, a flying zombie, be even more powerful? This made Shen Xinran secretly sweat for Mao Luying and Mao Xianpeng who were chasing Chonggu.
…
Back on the main street, we saw more and more black-eyed zombies. Anyone caught by them would be bitten.
Those who are bitten may die immediately if they are lucky, but they may be infected with the zombie virus and turn into another emotionless black-eyed zombie if they are unlucky.
The doors and windows on both sides of the street were closed, and every household was shrouded in panic. It seemed that even breathing became cautious, for fear of alarming the zombies outside.
Shen Xinran frowned when she saw this scene. She picked up the peach wood sword and attacked the black-eyed zombie that was biting people with clean and neat movements.
The zombie's body stiffened, and then it fell powerlessly to the cold ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
Although these black-eyed zombies look fragile, they reproduce at an astonishingly fast rate, causing every battle for Shen Xinran to feel like a race against time.
Yue Minglei took a rope he had found from somewhere and tied the zombies together. The bound zombies roared angrily, struggling and twisting.
Shen Xinran took the opportunity to take out the talisman and accurately placed it on the zombie's forehead. The once violent zombies let out a final painful roar, and then fell completely silent, no longer able to move.
Yue Minglei, who was still standing nearby, frowned and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do zombies always deserve to die?"
When Shen Xinran turned around, she saw Yue Minglei standing in the shadows with a calm expression, but a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Shen Xinran probably understood what Yue Minglei was worried about, so she replied, "Not every zombie deserves to die, but zombies that hurt people definitely deserve to die."
Yue Minglei was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Shen Xinran to answer like this.
Shen Xinran continued, "This group of people look like black-eyed zombies, but according to a more detailed classification method, they are walking corpses. They have no thoughts and only know how to drink blood."
Yue Minglei frowned, "What are zombies?"
As Chen Xinran dealt with the zombies, he explained, "When a zombie bites someone, it's not an instant death, but the beginning of transformation. To become a zombie, the bitten person needs a drop of blood from the previous generation of zombies, a symbol of power and inheritance. Those who don't receive the blood become zombies, looking just like black-eyed zombies, but without a soul, only the instinct to thirst for blood."
Yue Minglei looked at Shen Xinran with a hint of confusion in his eyes. "But after Chonggu bit me, he didn't give me blood. How could I become a zombie instead of a walking corpse?"
Chen Xinran smiled and replied, "You are the result of self-transformation under the interweaving of corpse qi and resentment. In other words, you and Chonggu are both zombies of the same generation. So Chonggu's claim that you are his descendant is wrong."
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, he started to deal with the black-eyed zombies, leaving Yue Minglei alone standing there in a daze.
Neither of them noticed that there was a slight noise coming from the corner, but it soon returned to calm.
By the time we dealt with the last zombie, it was already night. The surrounding houses had suffered varying degrees of damage, and the streets were in a mess.
The people would open the door a crack and quietly check what was happening outside. When they saw the silence, they breathed a sigh of relief. But then came the pain and despair of having lost their loved ones.
No matter where Shen Xinran and Yue Minglei went, they could hear the cries of the people, one after another, and each cry was filled with endless sadness and sorrow.
As Yue Minglei was walking, he found that Shen Xinran was gone. When he turned around, Shen Xinran had already sat down cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and began to chant the mantra for salvation.
As the spell was chanted, ghosts emerged from the ground one after another. They stood on the street with confused expressions, as if they had not yet recovered from the shock of death.
Yue Minglei didn't interrupt, but just stood by and watched silently. When Shen Xinran opened her eyes, he asked her, "Didn't you say that opening the Ghost Gate takes a lot of your energy?"
Shen Xinran stood up and rolled his eyes unhappily, "I saw it all, what else can I do!"
A gentle smile flashed in Yue Minglei's eyes. "Don't forget, you still owe those two ghosts a large sum of money. When they come, how are you going to explain it?"
After Yue Minglei's reminder, Shen Xinran finally remembered this incident and her face became sad.
Fortunately, she soon cheered up, patted Yue Minglei on the shoulder, and said seriously, "Yes, so don't say anything for a while, just watch me perform."
After a burst of smoke, the Ghost Gate slowly appeared. As the door was pushed open, the voices of the Black and White Impermanence rang out at the same time, low and majestic, "Who dares to open the Ghost Gate without permission!"
Shen Xinran hurried forward with a flattering smile on his face, "Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, it's me!"
As soon as Hei Wuchang saw Shen Xinran, he snorted coldly, "How dare you come to see us? Where's the money you promised us? When will you burn it for us?"
Shen Xinran said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to burn it for you, but it's not too late!"
Hei Wuchang frowned, his face cold, "According to your calculations in the mortal world, two months have passed since we last met, and you tell me it's not too late!"
Shen Xinran sighed, "You don't know, your treasures are too precious. Small places don't dare to accept them. I can only come here to exchange them for money. I'm different from you. You can fly and walk through walls, but I can only rely on my two legs. It took me a full fifty-six days and seven hours to walk from Guqiao Town to here."
As Shen Xinran spoke, she began to wipe away her tears, "In the end, you two brothers still don't believe me."
Hearing that Shen Xinran had given the time to the hour, Hei Wuchang didn't know what to say.
Bai Wuchang could only reach out to Shen Xinran and say, "In that case, take out the treasure and let us examine it."
When Shen Xinran heard this, she thought, how could this be possible? She had already spent most of those treasures. If they were checked, wouldn't it be exposed?
Although Shen Xinran was extremely reluctant, looking at Bai Wuchang's outstretched hand, she could only put the bag back and return it to Bai Wuchang.
Bai Wuchang took the bag and was about to open it to take a look when he heard Shen Xinran crying, "I was kind enough to help my two brothers, but you didn't believe me. It really makes me sad!"
Bai Wuchang was startled. When he looked up, he saw Shen Xinran looking as if he had suffered a great injustice.
What he didn't know was that although Shen Xinran was crying, her heart was almost in her throat, and she kept repeating to herself: Don't open it, don't open it!
Bai Wuchang and Hei Wuchang looked at each other. The storage bag was in his hand, but he couldn't look at it now, nor could he not look at it.
Chen Xinran glanced at the Black and White Impermanence, feeling that there was hope, and continued to sob: "In that case, I will return all the treasures to you, and you can find other people to help you burn the money!"
Hei Wuchang frowned and thought for a moment, "Seventh Brother, I don't think she's lying, why don't we give the baby to her!"
Yue Minglei, who was still standing by: "..."
Is the ghost so easy to deceive?
