Lost in thought, Zhao Youliang subconsciously dragged the "unconscious" Cao Daxian outside the paper-making shop.
Cao Daxian could die, and Zhao Youliang didn't care whether she lived or died, as long as she didn't die in the shop.
The reason is simple: Zhao Youliang was so afraid of being involved in lawsuits that he always ended up getting involved in murder cases.
After Zhao dragged Cao Daxian out and carelessly left him at the door, the observant Liao Zhiyuan immediately went to check on him.
Even though the back of his head was covered by his hair, there was still a large, obvious hole.
It was simply sealed off by "people" with an unknown "mud," and this mud was incredibly foul-smelling.
It not only smells bad, but it also stings your eyes.
Coughing up, Liao Zhiyuan retreated rapidly while tears streamed down his face: "Ghost Eye Corpse Mud!"
"No wonder Master Cao can still move and think; it turns out someone used Ghost Eye Corpse Mud to turn her into a 'ghost corpse'."
Chang Jie, who comes from a family with a strong academic background, answered quietly before Li Mao could even ask a question.
"Ghost Eye Corpse Mud is made from the corpse oil and mud that flows from the dead, and it also contains nine half-rotten dead eyeballs."
"According to records, this vicious method was created by the Yuan Dynasty sorcerer Yang Lianzhenjia (Note 1), with the aim of refining ghost corpses."
"Strictly speaking, ghost corpses are not zombies, but rather people whose souls are forcibly bound to their bodies using evil magic."
"Doing this may seem like living for a short time, but it will rot and stink within a few months."
"And it will also attract the attention of the underworld... If you get caught, you will be doomed forever."
Upon hearing Chang Jie mention the underworld, Zhao Youliang immediately thought of the ghost messengers who had been forced to stay with him.
So he hurriedly asked, "Old Immortal Steel Plate, where are those ghost brothers? I haven't seen them."
The grasshopper spirit was clearly not used to Zhao Youliang calling him by his real name, and only answered after a moment of reaction.
"The officials have returned to the underworld."
"They didn't sneak back; they went back to ask for help or find a way to deal with the zombies."
"They said they'd be back tonight if things went well, and no more than three days if things went slowly."
"Oh, I see... Wait a minute, Egg Boy, what are you doing?!"
"Stop touching everything, it's dirty! Wash your hands...go take a shower!"
It turned out that while Zhao Youliang was talking to the grasshopper spirit, Chang Jie flew to Cao Daxian's side.
With a determined heart and a gritted tooth, he squeezed out a drop of milky white "blood" from his own small body and smeared it onto the other party's "ghost eye corpse mud".
Then something amazing happened: Cao Daxian, who had been "dead," actually stood up unsteadily.
After a moment of confusion, she screamed in terror, "Zhao Youliang, why did I suddenly faint?! What...what did you do to me?!"
Seeing Cao Daxian with his arms crossed, looking like he had just been ravaged, Zhao Youliang felt helpless for a long time.
She thought to herself: "Big sister, you're making it easy for others to misunderstand!"
Don't you have any idea how old you are or what you look like? Would I possibly molest you or something...?
Seeing that Zhao Youliang did not answer him, Cao Daxian became angry and embarrassed.
He stopped talking, took out a black "ghostly talisman" from his pocket, chewed it, swallowed it, and then began to chant.
"This disciple is not safe to go out on a mission, and has mistakenly entered a tiger's den with great danger. I humbly request my venerable master in the hall to invite all the immortals from the underworld!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind howled, and ghostly figures flew toward the town in the wind.
Seeing this, Master Cao became smug and said, "Hahaha, Zhao Youliang, you're in trouble! Our two new celestial spirits have appeared!"
"You're going to die!"
Just then, Zhang Chao walked out of the coffin shop accompanied by Manager Sun.
He frowned as he watched the rapidly approaching "ghostly figure," then grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it into the air.
"Open the Heavenly Court, grant longevity, and restore the three souls and seven spirits to their original state. The three souls reside on the left, and the seven spirits on the right. Quietly listen to the divine command, and discern the unknown. No one will see you when you walk, and no one will know when you sit. So be it!"
As soon as the incantation was finished, the zombies throughout the town immediately began to stir.
It was no longer its usual appearance; instead, it had become a blue-faced monster with fangs and its nails had grown out of shape.
Then it roared and charged toward the arriving "immortals".
Faced with such a terrifying horde of corpses, the immortals invited by Master Cao did not hesitate for a moment and immediately turned and ran.
Moreover, the speed was much faster than when it came.
Seeing this, Zhang Chao stopped the zombies from chasing him and silently dispelled the corpse-driving technique, restoring the town's residents to their original state.
Then he shook off his "cloak" and said to Zhao Youliang.
"Quantum, since you're a guest, try to reason with them instead of fighting."
"Fighting is bad; if you lose, you go to the hospital; if you win, you go to jail."
Zhao Youliang was stunned by Zhang Chao's lecture and nodded repeatedly involuntarily.
"Uncle Chao, I understand. I won't fight with Sister Cao. You go about your business..."
Before Zhao Youliang could finish speaking, a loud bang came from Zhang Chao's direction.
It turned out that the kitchen knife he was carrying had fallen off.
Sensing everyone's astonished looks, Zhang Chao quickly picked up the kitchen knife and put it back in his belt.
With his face flushed red, he explained, "Hey girl over there, don't get me wrong. I didn't bring the cleaver because I was targeting you. I was just thinking of going out to find a toad and reason with him."
"The toad that ate two of my disciples..."
"Hey, you guys keep busy, don't rush off later. I'll chop the filling and make dumplings for you right now, we'll have them for dinner."
Although Cao Daxian was a ghost corpse at this time, he was not without brains.
Not leaving? Waiting to eat dumplings? You're not going to chop me up and use me as dumpling filling, are you?!
Upon realizing this, Master Cao cried out in surprise and dashed out of the town.
As he ran, he kept throwing corpse worms behind him, clearly to block the pursuers.
Unfortunately, her efforts were destined to be in vain, because no one from Zhao Youliang's side went after her.
They all stared at Master Cao as he ran wildly, as if he were a fool.
After Cao Daxian had completely disappeared, Zhao Youliang said thoughtfully.
"Xiao Liao, don't you find it strange?"
"Master Cao's cultivation is quite high; he should be able to see that our town is full of walking corpses."
"But why wasn't she surprised? Why did she dare to come in so blatantly?"
"It wasn't until they discovered that Uncle Chao could control the walkers that they rushed off in a hurry."
Zhao Youliang's words immediately made everyone think: Yes, why is that?
Could it be... could it be that they guessed wrong just because they saw it was them? The culprit harming the town's residents isn't the walking corpses at all, but rather the mysterious spirits associated with Cao Daxian's shrine?!
Judging from what we just saw, it seems that the other side has recruited far more than one powerful immortal!
Zhao Youliang's role as the backbone of the organization is only revealed when faced with indecisiveness.
The grasshopper spirit spoke on behalf of everyone, asking, "Quantum, what should we do if that's really the case?"
"Are we still going to bomb that bastard surnamed Wu tonight?!"
