Chapter 406: Unusual Zombies

After listening to the village chief's story, the two suddenly realized: "No wonder these zombies are so hard, they don't look like they can be made by ordinary people, it turns out they are lost."

"Is it common for zombies to get lost?"

The village chief shook his head: "How is that possible? I'm eighty years old and this is the first time I've seen an ownerless zombie. I've only heard about it before."

"May I ask what are the reasons for the zombies being ownerless?"

"I heard someone say that there are only two reasons why zombies are ownerless. Either the owner has died and the zombies are out of control and wandering around all day, or the owner takes the initiative to release the control of the zombies, or the zombies turn against the owner and eat him."

"From the attitude of these zombies in our village, they are not bloodthirsty, which doesn't seem to be the third case."

"Is there any way to find the zombie's owner?"

Hearing Lu Yang's question, the village chief showed a conflicted expression, frowned, and finally sighed.

"some."

"Each corpse driver will leave a unique mark on his own zombie to declare his sovereignty. The zombies in our village all have the same mark on their right wrists, like this."

The village chief squatted on the ground and drew three interlocking circles with his fingers, with the word "ghost" written in the middle.

"If the zombie's owner is still alive, he will have the same pattern on his right wrist."

“Although I am only at the peak of the second level of Qi training and my cultivation is limited, I learned from an amazing corpse-driving craftsman when I was young. My teacher is at the peak of the sixth level of Qi training!”

"While I was learning from my teacher, I recognized the designs of corpse drivers in the surrounding counties and prefectures, and none of them had a similar style. As for corpse drivers from other places, I have never seen them before."

This is also one of the reasons why the village chief did not report the case. The zombie was not left by the nearby corpse driver. Even if the case was reported to the government for handling, the government would not be able to find the owner of the zombie.

"Have you heard of the Corpse Driving Sect, old man?"

The village chief laughed and said, "I know the name of the Corpse Driving Sect. Thirty years ago, I was lucky enough to see a disciple of the Corpse Driving Sect from afar. He was truly a young talent, far beyond the reach of someone like me who has a hard time even getting started with the art of corpse driving."

"Do you know the location of the Corpse Driving Sect?"

"That's far away."

The village chief pointed westward and said, "The Corpse Driving Sect is in the center of our Deserted State. Going west from here, it's a distance of 80 million miles."

Meng Jingzhou nodded: "It seems that we have to go for a few more days."

With Lao Ma around, eighty million miles is not a far distance. When he ran away from home, the distance from the imperial capital to the Wendao Sect was more than eighty million miles, but it was just a matter of a few days.

Whether to walk fast or slow depends entirely on Lao Ma's mood.

At first, Meng Jingzhou thought that the carriage was moving fast because there was a space formation on the chassis, which allowed it to travel through space at will and shorten the distance. Later, he realized that the carriage was indeed a treasure, but the real reason for its speed was the old horse.

"Since we already know about the existence of zombies, can you let us two brothers stay overnight?"

"Well, my wife has passed away, and my children have all moved to the county. If you stay, it's just a matter of adding two quilts."

The two rested in Jianshi Village for one night, said goodbye to the village chief the next day, and embarked on their journey.

"You two were lucky last night." The Immortal Fairy stretched, twisted her body, and stretched her muscles.

Although the soul has no concept of tendons and bones, it will always inherit some of its habits after death.

"Good luck?"

"Yes, the group of zombies you encountered last night were carefully refined by the great monk. That is, there is no one to command them. In addition, they are not strong enough to move because of insufficient yang energy. They can only rely on the pile of steamed buns to maintain basic activities every day. Otherwise, you two will not be able to defeat the group of zombies."

"If my guess is correct, that group of zombies acting together will be enough to deal with a fusion-stage cultivator."

"Fusion stage!" Lu Yang was shocked. He only knew that the zombies from last night were strong, but he never expected that they were so exaggerated that they could deal with those in the fusion stage.

Even though Lu Yang didn't understand the technique of refining zombies, he knew that the one who could refine zombies of this level must be a cultivator in the fusion stage.

This group of zombies are the fighting means of the monks in the fusion stage. How can they be discarded casually?

A fusion-level corpse-carrier died? When Lu Yang thought of this, he felt a chill.

Nowadays, people seldom fight with each other, and it is rare for cultivators in the fusion stage to kill each other, not to mention how powerful cultivators in the fusion stage are and how many means they have to protect their lives. Unless the gap is too big, such as the gap between his master Buyu Taoist, the great elder, Qiu Jinan and ordinary cultivators in the fusion stage, it is difficult for a cultivator in the fusion stage to kill another cultivator in the fusion stage.

Meng Jingzhou saw Lu Yang's expression change slightly, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

"You should remember that there is an immortal fairy living inside me."

When the Immortal Fairy was resurrected, Meng Jingzhou was watching beside her.

Meng Jingzhou blinked his eyes, slapped his hands, and looked as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Ah~ I remember now, there is still an ancient immortal in your body. What did the immortal say?"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"...Wait a minute, regardless of what the immortal said, why do you look like you just remembered something?"

"It's not my fault."

Meng Jingzhou scratched his head awkwardly, counting on his fingers: "It's mainly in my imagination that people with ancient immortals in their bodies should have continuous good fortune, use incomplete ancient magic weapons as weapons, master all kinds of shocking secrets, be familiar with many ways of cultivation, be invincible at the same level, often say amazing things, have insights that shouldn't be possessed at this level, and have beautiful women throwing themselves at them, and going to secret realms is like going home or something like that."

"I don't think you usually behave like this. The only characteristic that meets your criteria is that you are invincible at the same level. However, this is not a particularly prominent characteristic in our Dao Sect."

"Oh yeah, you also know all sorts of ancient secrets that can only be used to scare the Jiuyou Cult."

Lu Yang: “…”

Yeah, I want to know the reason too.

"What did the immortal say?"

"She said that the zombie group we encountered last night had combat power comparable to that of the Fusion Stage."

Meng Jingzhou's pupils shrank slightly, obviously thinking of the same question as Lu Yang.

How could a zombie of this level be allowed to wander around freely?

Something unknown must have happened!

"Find a big city and ask around to see if there was any battle or if someone in the Fusion Stage died. It's impossible for something of this magnitude to leave no trace."

Lu Yang nodded, he thought so too.

"By the way, since there is an ancient immortal living in your body, can you help me ask if she has any method to resolve the backlash of karma for me?" Meng Jingzhou looked at Lu Yang eagerly. Yes, even if there is no senior sister to help, there is still the ancient immortal to help.

The ancient immortals have great means, so isn’t it easy for them to resolve a simple backlash of cause and effect?

“I have.”

"What did her mother say?"

"She told you to die."

"?"

The second update will be around 11 o'clock
