Looking at the strange father and son in front of him, Gu Zhou tugged at Qi Jing's sleeve and said, "Gu Xuanyi has never fought a zombie before, how is he going to deal with this thing?"
Qi Jing spread his hands. He didn't know either. They were obviously an inseparable father and son. It would be impossible to take either of them away.
The two of them remained silent, waiting for the man to coax the black monkey Gu Zhou before speaking.
Gu Zhou asked, "Have you always lived here? Do you know what happened eighteen years ago?"
The man thought for a moment when he was suddenly asked, "What are you asking?"
"White Dragon Crossing the River." Gu Zhou was also in a give-it-or-leave-it mentality. He had searched for a long time but couldn't find out which village in Chuzhou had died or been buried by a mudslide.
This man is a zombie, so even if he's not nearby, he should be able to sense something unusual.
The man thought for a moment, then looked at the black monkey in his arms. The black monkey roared twice, and the man finally answered, "Eighteen years ago, there was indeed a month-long flood, and many places collapsed. There were some abnormalities, but they were quite far away, and I only know the approximate location."
That means there is news. Gu Zhou immediately asked, "What did you sense?"
The man shook his head. "I can't really put my finger on it, but it had a strong aura of death. Rainbow Dash was very cranky that day, making a scene in the tomb. He seemed to be able to sense that thing. It was very dangerous, more powerful than me."
This is not good news. What kind of thing is more powerful than a thousand-year-old zombie?
The man smiled. "Don't worry, sir. Although I'm a thousand-year-old zombie, I'm relatively weak because I've never sucked blood. Besides, the Imperial Master is very powerful."
This is true. Gu Zhou looked at Qi Jing beside him and asked him, "Do you still want to go?"
Qi Jing nodded and observed the man carefully, a little curious. "Who were you in your previous life? Why do you look so familiar with me and not surprised to see me?"
"My surname is Meng, my given name is Yuan, and my courtesy name is Baichuan. I was an official in the imperial court during my lifetime. I have some friendship with both the Imperial Preceptor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Imperial Preceptor has helped me a lot. If it weren't for the Imperial Preceptor's advice, my wife and I would have had a hard time together, and Yunbao would have never been born."
"And your wife?"
The man lowered his eyes. "She met with an accident while searching for Yunbao. Her greatest wish before she died was to find Yunbao and asked me to take good care of her."
They are also a pitiful family. Gu Zhou had a guess and asked Qi Jing in a low voice, "Could this be the case too?"
"Maybe, but they didn't have a good ending." Qi Jing sighed, a little confused about what he had done a thousand years ago. Why did they all have a bad ending?
Gu Zhou asked again, "Then how do you want to deal with this?"
Qi Jing shook his head. Zombies and black monkeys were both dangerous creatures, and it would definitely not be a good idea to let them out. But he also felt weird about just dispersing them like that.
After thinking for a moment, Qi Jing said, "How about this, you two come out with me first. Zhao Yin is here too, you can meet him."
"Your Highness?" Meng Yuan was delighted. "It's been a thousand years since we last met. I never thought I'd see you again."
Qi Jing nodded and stretched out his hand to Meng Yuan, "Give him to me."
Meng Yuan hesitated for only a moment before handing Yunbao over. Qi Jing immediately squatted down and pressed Yunbao to the ground, grabbing the fur on Yunbao's body and pulling it.
Rainbow Dash roared in pain and looked extremely miserable.
Meng Yuan felt distressed and wanted to step forward to stop them, but he held back. He advised, "Don't be afraid, Yunbao. It's the Imperial Master. Your beloved brother Jing won't hurt you."
Rainbow Dash only paused for a second before continuing to roar. He was in real pain, and all his fur was ripped out.
Gu Zhou, who was watching from the side, also felt that it was a bit cruel. It was even crueler than girls pulling each other's hair in a fight.
Tsk tsk!
Gu Zhou couldn't bear it and threw out a talisman paper and stuck it on Yunbao. The pain disappeared, and Yunbao was pressed to the ground in a daze, no longer struggling.
Qi Jing quickly pulled off all the fur covering Yunbao's body, turning it into a smooth-bodied doll, but its skin was very red, as if it had just shed a layer of skin.
Qi Jing looked over and over again, and after making sure that it was gone, he made a hand gesture to cover up Yunbao's other features, temporarily turning him into an ordinary little baby.
Gu Zhou took out a set of clothes from the ring to wrap Yun Bao, and also took out a set of clothes for Meng Yuan, "You should change into this first. It's not enough to just hide in the talisman paper. You still have to go out."
Meng Yuan took it and hesitated, "But there are too many people outside. I can't stand the smell of blood."
"Don't be afraid of that." Qi Jing took out a blank spell card, covered it with his own energy, and handed it over. "You won't go crazy if you hold it. Just don't show your teeth."
Meng Yuan felt a surge of warmth when he got the spell card. This was the only warmth he had felt in a thousand years.
Meng Yuan smiled, thanked him, and took Yunbao back. "Please wait a moment, Master. I'll be here soon after I change my clothes."
Qi Jing nodded and pulled Gu Zhou out.
In the other stone chamber, Xu Zhiyi and Azhuo were still waiting. The others hadn't woken up yet. When they saw them come out, they immediately asked, "Are we going out now?"
"Yeah." Gu Zhou responded, then glanced at those who were still unconscious, thought for a moment and asked, "Is your house big?"
Xu Zhiyi understood immediately, "There are two rooms left that can accommodate you."
"That'll do." Gu Zhou took out a few spell cards and threw them out, sticking one on each person. Under Gu Zhou's control, the four unconscious people stood up and walked out.
Several people followed to the cave entrance. After they all stepped on the flying talisman, Gu Zhou waited for a while, and Meng Yuan came out holding Yunbao.
After changing his clothes, Meng Yuan looked much more normal, and Yunbao in his arms also returned to the appearance of a three or four-year-old child. Only Meng Yuan's long hair was more eye-catching.
Seeing Xu Zhiyi's surprise, Qi Jing said, "I put talismans on them so they won't hurt anyone, and they'll only stay for a few days."
"No, I just didn't expect it to be a child." Xu Zhiyi really didn't expect it. Although Meng Yuan kept calling him "kid", seeing it with his own eyes was another matter.
Meng Yuan nodded apologetically to them and followed them on the flying talisman. He also took out two silver ingots from his pocket and placed them in Xu Zhiyi's hands. "This is compensation. I really can't give you anything else."
Xu Zhiyi felt a little dizzy when he saw the silver ingot in his hand. He quickly turned it over and took a look. He calculated that it had been in the same dynasty for hundreds or even thousands of years, and it was official silver. How much money could this ingot of silver be worth?
Although thinking this in his heart, Xu Zhiyi returned it, "It's too valuable. I can't take it."
"Valuable?" Meng Yuan looked at Qi Jing in confusion. "Twenty taels of silver is very valuable?"
Qi Jing explained, "You've been dead for a thousand years. These things are antiques now, and antiques are very valuable."
"I see." Meng Yuan nodded in understanding, then took out a few copper coins from his pocket and placed them in Xu Zhiyi's hand. "This shouldn't be expensive."
Xu Zhiyi didn’t know either. He looked at Gu Zhou and Qi Jing, so was he going to take it?
The two of them picked up one and looked at it respectively. Gu Zhou was more direct and took out his cell phone to check the price, but there was no signal in this poor place, so he had to give up.
