The man was obviously annoyed by the noise, but he still compromised. He bowed politely and smiled shyly. "Gentlemen, can you give him one? I knocked it over and he still wants it."
Gu Zhou and Qi Jing's eyes shifted downwards, and the last bit of milk tea spilled onto the ground. The little black monkey was still roaring, as if he was very angry and would make a fuss if you didn't give it to him.
Gu Zhou was really speechless, so he took out a cup from his ring and handed it over.
The black monkey was very excited when he saw the milk tea. He immediately pounced over and snatched the milk tea away, then inserted the straw and started slurping.
Seeing the black monkey quiet down, the man wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed to the two men again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've lost my mind and made you two laugh."
At this time, Azhuo also untied the rope on Xu Zhiyi, and the man and the ghost came over to explain it again.
In fact, it was similar to what Black Monkey pretended to be Xu Zhiyi, except that this man appeared after Xu Zhiyi tapped the blood, and easily captured Azhuo and brought them here.
It's not that I want to hurt them. They saw the black monkey and I'm afraid they will spread the news outside, so I want to change their memory.
Everyone else was doing fine, except Xu Zhiyi, who remained awake after doing it several times and showed no sign of fainting.
Azhuo followed up, "He has a very high level of cultivation. I thought he would hurt Ayi, so I wanted to ask you for help."
After Ah Zhuo finished speaking, the man immediately stepped forward to apologize again. "The boy was naughty and accidentally ran away. I will definitely keep him under control in the future. I have also removed the evil spirits from them, so they will definitely not cause any bad effects."
This was strange. Gu Zhou looked at the man carefully. The way he spoke, acted, and dressed seemed to be anything but a normal person.
With the sarcophagus and the jars, it's clearly a tomb.
Are there any living people in the tomb?
Obviously, it is unlikely.
Gu Zhou thought so and asked, "What are you?"
"He's a zombie."
Qi Jing spoke before the man did, startling Gu Zhou so much that he turned around suddenly, "Zombie, are you sure? Where are his teeth?"
"The teeth are here." The man said with a grin, and two fangs grew out, sharp and cold, plunging the stone chamber into silence.
Gu Zhou was confused, "You don't have to show it like this."
"Excuse me." The man bowed, retracted his fangs and stood up straight, then looked at Gu Zhou and Qi Jing carefully.
The man finally set his gaze on Qi Jing. His eyes lit up after a probe, but before he could speak, his mouth was sealed with a talisman.
Gu Zhou patted his chest and felt that it was a close call. He said to Xu Zhiyi and Azhuo, "You guys go out first, the person is over there."
Seeing that they had something to say, Xu Zhiyi nodded and left with Azhu.
After everyone left, Gu Zhou collected the talisman paper and pointed at the stone door and said, "Why don't you close the door first."
The man waved his hand to close the stone door, and his gaze fell on Qi Jing again, "Master Imperial Master, do you still remember me?"
Qi Jing shook his head honestly, he didn't remember.
Gu Zhou had an expression that said, "As expected." If something was a bit older, Qi Jing might be recognized. Fortunately, he sealed it quickly.
The man was visibly disappointed, but he still pulled himself together to explain, "Thousands of years ago, the Imperial Preceptor saved a group of children who had been transformed into monkeys by a sorcery. Does Lord Jing remember that?"
Qi Jing still shook his head, but explained seriously, "If I had saved him, he would have changed back to normal. Why is he still like this?"
Speaking of this man, he sighed, "This child is very disobedient. They say that every failure makes you wiser. After being fooled once, you should remember it. But he was fooled away by a candied haws again within two years. He looked like this when I found him."
Gu Zhou and Qi Jing were speechless. Gu Zhou asked, "If that's the case, why don't you continue to ask your uncle for help to change back?"
"I've searched, but to no avail. The Crown Prince hanged himself, and the Imperial Preceptor's whereabouts are unknown. They say he ascended to heaven." The man sighed again. "Unable to find the Imperial Preceptor, I've had to look for other options. I've traveled far and wide, tried countless methods, but the situation has only gotten worse."
Gu Zhou became interested and asked, "Tell me more about it."
"He used to recognize me, but he only had the appearance of a monkey. After I tried a few things, he could only roar. He also lost his humanity and kept hurting people." The man sighed and said, "I have no choice but to find him a place deep in the mountains and forests to live. I let him play by himself and just don't go out and hurt anyone."
Qi Jing tilted his head, "Then how did you become a zombie?"
The man pursed his lips and sighed again, "I was looking for him in the mountains, it was raining heavily, and he was struck by lightning and died."
This is really hard to explain. Gu Zhou asked him, "And then you turned into a zombie?"
"Not really. Not long after I was struck to death, he came looking for me. Seeing that I ignored him, he dragged me and threw me into this cave. About a year later, I woke up on my own and turned into a zombie."
The man bared his fangs and looked at the black monkey. "He's been guarding me all this time, so I think he still has some feelings for me. But zombies are hard to kill, and he lives for a long time. So I just destroyed the sarcophagus and the tomb to save my dignity and locked him up here too."
"Then how did he get out? And hurt someone?"
"Every few years I take him out at night to relax. This time, he seemed to be irritated by something, and he disappeared the moment I turned around. When I went to look for him, everyone saw him, so I had to use fog to block their view and move them back one by one so that he would forget.
That person had a ghost and some magic weapon with him. I was worried about being discovered, so I asked him to pretend to be that person to buy some time. But I don't know why I can't change his memory, and that's how it is. "
The man looked at Qi Jing and said, "Master Imperial Master, do you think my son can be saved?"
Qi Jing looked at the black monkey sucking from an empty cup in the corner. It was hard for him to say. It was obvious that it had become a spirit. It couldn't change back, right?
Seeing Qi Jing remained silent, the man continued, "It's okay to find him a place to stay. He's quite obedient now and doesn't hurt anyone much."
"What about you? Don't you care about him?" Qi Jing turned around curiously, feeling that the man's words were strange.
The man touched his fangs and said, "Zombie instincts are too hard to control. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it back if I go out. I'm already feeling uncomfortable holding it back."
Gu Zhou was surprised. There had been no reports of zombies biting people in the past few hundred years. Since they arrived here, the men had been polite and had not shown any characteristics of zombies. He thought that this zombie had been restrained in some way, and it turned out to be all due to willpower.
As if he heard the man was going to leave him, the black monkey immediately dropped the milk tea cup and ran over, hugging the man's legs tightly and roaring, jumping up and down in anxiety.
The man bent down, picked him up, patted his back like he was coaxing a child, and smiled apologetically at the two of them.
