Chapter 238 Little Zombie's Black Moonlight Taoist Priest 36
Three hundred years is but a drop in the ocean in the long river of human history. However, from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the 21st century, these long years have witnessed earth-shaking changes.
The rapid development of science and technology is like a brilliant light, illuminating the path forward for humanity. The widespread use of the internet has made the world accessible, and information is transmitted to every corner of the globe in an instant.
In front of the Yujing Building, sunlight shines on the smooth marble floor, reflecting dazzling light.
A middle-aged man in a neat suit stood at the door, holding a business card tightly in his hand, his eyes wandering between the business card and the building in front of him that reached into the clouds.
Finally, his eyes fixed on a cleaning lady mopping the floor. "Hello, how do I get to Zhenqi Cleaning Company?"
The old lady stopped what she was doing, stood up, and replied, "Go in from here and take the elevator directly to the 18th floor."
The man smiled at the aunt and said, "Thank you."
At the same time, a curly-haired woman was sitting at the front desk on the 18th floor. She was wearing a fashionable miniskirt, playing computer games and eating snacks.
The elevator door slowly slid open with a slight mechanical sound.
The woman raised her head, glanced briefly, then lowered her gaze again, immersed in the computer game. Her expression was indifferent, and she asked nonchalantly, "Who are you looking for?"
The man walked into the hall and said with a faint smile: "I just bought a second-hand house, but it doesn't seem very clean. I would like to ask you to help clean it up."
The woman said indifferently, "Okay, two hundred thousand."
The man widened his eyes in surprise, "Two hundred thousand, this... is too expensive!" He bought his house for less than three million.
The woman was unmoved. "If you think it's too expensive, you can find someone else."
The man hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant. I was introduced by Boss Qian. Can you give me a discount?"
The woman raised her head and smiled slightly. "Since Uncle Qian introduced you, I'll give you a discount of two hundred yuan, now one hundred and ninety-nine thousand eight."
The man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Okay, but you must help me clean it up."
The woman nodded and smiled, "No problem. I'll pay half as a deposit first, and the balance after I clean it up."
The man took out his bank card and completed the payment skillfully.
He was so absorbed in his worries about his new home that he didn't even notice the flyer that had fallen from the printer beside him. It read, "Basic Cleaning Service, 188,800."
As the man disappeared out the door, a black-haired woman walked lightly into the front desk.
She smiled at the curly-haired woman, her tone tinged with mischief, "If Uncle Qian knew that someone had paid over ten thousand yuan in his name, he would probably be furious."
The curly-haired woman pursed her lips and said, "Who made me have a Zhou Paopi at home? I have to give him 80% of the money I earn."
The curly-haired woman was Shen Xinran. Her name was now Mao Lingzhen, and she was the 13th generation descendant of the Mao family.
She has been here for three years and has co-founded a cleaning company with Ma Mengqi, specializing in handling dirty things.
Mao Luying's contract with Huo Long had been a real bummer. After splitting the 200,000 yuan with Ma Mengqi, she only had 100,000 yuan left. She also had to pay 80% to Huo Long, leaving her with only 20,000 yuan.
Coupled with Yue Minglei's curse on her, her Taoism skills were neither good nor bad, and she couldn't even perform the most basic fire dragon summoning. She was now arguably the most useless exorcist in the Mao family.
Moreover, she was very unlucky, and even if she saved money, it would be lost in various ways.
Now she finally met a sucker. If she doesn't rip him off, she won't be able to pay the rent for next month.
Thinking of Yue Minglei, Shen Xinran looked up at Ma Mengqi and said with a smile: "Mengqi, I see from your face that you have a romantic relationship recently!"
Ma Mengqi glared at Shen Xinran and said unhappily, "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that according to our Ma family motto, exorcists should cut off all emotions and love?"
Hearing Ma Mengqi say this, Shen Xinran wanted to cry. She remembered that Ma Jingwen didn't have this rule at that time!
According to the plot, Ma Mengqi met a scumbag three years ago, and after being cheated on by him, she went to Tongli County for a trip.
She accidentally unlocked the seal and released Yue Minglei. She was attracted by Yue Minglei's appearance and started a dramatic love story with Yue Minglei.
But the Ma family didn't know what went wrong, and they actually left behind an ancestral precept that exorcists cannot fall in love.
Ma Mengqi is still single and no one has come to remove the seal for Yue Minglei, which has resulted in Yue Minglei sleeping for three more years.
Shen Xinran thought to herself, if Ma Mengqi didn't break the seal this year, she would tie her up and release Yue Minglei no matter what. She couldn't let Yue Minglei sleep forever! What would happen to her mission then?
…
Shen Xinran was completely unaware that the trajectory of fate had quietly shifted again. Yue Minglei had been unsealed and released by Cheng Zicheng.
Yue Minglei's body was shrouded in evil spirit, revealing only an expressionless face. His voice was hoarse from not speaking for a long time. "What year is it now?"
Cheng Zicheng replied: "It is 1999 now, and you have been asleep for three hundred years."
Yue Minglei asked in a low voice, "Where's Mao Danfeng?"
Cheng Zicheng glanced at Yue Minglei and said cautiously, "Sister Mao has been reincarnated. She is now called Mao Lingzhen."
"Take me to find her!" A dark undercurrent flashed in Yue Minglei's eyes, like a suppressed volcano, seemingly calm on the surface, but deep in its heart it contains hot magma, ready to erupt at any time.
Cheng Zicheng nodded and said, "Then you should change your clothes first. If you go out like this, you might scare others."
After he finished speaking, he handed Yue Minglei a set of clothes. After Yue Minglei changed, he handed him an ID card and said softly, "This is the ID card prepared for you. Now you are my brother."
Cheng Zicheng took Yue Minglei on a plane to Kyoto where Shen Xinran was.
Along the way, Yue Minglei remained silent, just quietly observing his surroundings and feeling the earth-shaking changes in the world.
After the plane landed, Cheng Zicheng waved for a car and took Yue Minglei to Yujing Building.
The moment they arrived, they saw Shen Xinran and Ma Mengqi coming out.
Through the blurry glass of the car window, Yue Minglei saw Shen Xinran at a glance. This face was engraved in his bones, and even after three hundred years, it was still as clear as ever.
Three hundred years ago, she ignored his pleas, sealed him away with a cold attitude, and ruthlessly tore apart all his hopes.
Her determination pierced his heart like a sharp knife, turning his love for her into an absurd joke in an instant.
During these three hundred years, although he had been sleeping, his consciousness was exceptionally clear. He could feel the alternation of day and night in the outside world, and he was always thinking about why.
Finally, he figured it out. From the moment he turned into a zombie, a bottomless chasm had separated them.
Zombies and humans exist in two different worlds, unable to blend or understand each other.
Zombies and exorcists are natural enemies.
