Zombies are transformed from the bodies of the dead. They have no souls and disappear when they die.
Ming Xin tried every possible means and put in every possible effort, but he was unable to summon Luo Zheyu's soul.
That person just disappeared between heaven and earth, without even a trace of ashes left.
Even though he knew that zombies had no souls, Ming Xin still couldn't help but test it with a glimmer of hope.
Maybe, he'll come back.
He said we'll see each other someday...
"Woof!" The black dog barked at Ming Xin and bit his trouser leg and pulled it out.
Ming Xin put down the materials for the soul-gathering formation in his hand and rubbed his bloodshot and dry eyes.
"Stop it."
As he spoke, he picked up a plump, green-skinned orange from the plate, peeled it, and placed the orange segments near the black dog's mouth.
The black dog loosened his trouser leg, and his body suddenly stiffened, staring at the orange in Mingxin's palm with wide eyes.
Saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.
It was quiet for a moment, then turned around and ran away at a very fast speed.
All that was left for Mingxin was a fat dog-butt's back.
"...Brother Luo really lied to me." Ming Xin withdrew his hand and stuffed the orange slices into his mouth.
So sour.
An indescribable sourness gradually spread from the mouth to everywhere, my limbs felt extremely heavy, and my chest was so stuffy that I couldn't breathe.
His eye sockets felt a little hot, Ming Xin rubbed his eyes with his fingers, and some water stains appeared on the back of his hands.
He always remembered what Luo Zheyu said, and often bought oranges to feed the black dog. At first, he thought that the black dog might be missing his old friend and was saddened by the food and was unwilling to eat.
Dogs are living creatures and they need to eat.
That time, Ming Xin forcefully stuffed the orange into the black dog's mouth...
The black dog retched because of the sourness of the orange and fell to the ground twitching. From then on, he would run away when he saw an orange and no one could stop him.
Thinking of this, Ming Xin shook his head, sat down again, fiddled with the materials of the formation in his hand, and calculated the position of the formation.
…
The sun was shining brightly outside the window. Ming Xin was holding a book in one hand and talisman paper and other things in the other. He didn't know when he fell asleep on the table.
The black dog sneaked back and lay down beside his legs.
The little zombie lay on the bed sullenly, covering his cheek in a daze.
Because he secretly ate too many snacks such as candied haws and pastries without Mingxin's knowledge, and he didn't like to brush his teeth, he finally developed cavities and may have become the first zombie to have cavities.
Ming Xin was busy studying the art of summoning souls all day and all night, and had no time to supervise him. The person who could control him and had a similar aura to him was gone again...
The little zombie hugged the quilt tightly and buried his head in it, feeling uncomfortable and wanting to cry.
…………
One month later, in Beijing.
Ming Xin was holding the little zombie, with the black dog following beside him. The two men and the dog looked up at the statue that was more than four meters tall.
The statue, which is more than four meters high, is plated with gold. It has a tall and slender figure, a majestic and elegant posture, a handsome face, and eyes that look slightly downward, revealing a sense of compassion.
What is surprising is that there are two sharp fangs under the thin lips on the face of the statue, and in its right hand, it holds a huge sickle.
Appears a bit ferocious.
Only with the wrath of a diamond can one be merciful and save the world.
Such statues can be found everywhere, big or small, made of various materials, perhaps wood, perhaps stone, or even worse, made of clay.
But without exception, they are enshrined in temples, with an endless stream of incense burning and pilgrims never lacking.
Even those who have nothing to ask for will bow down and worship this statue when they see it.
This is the living god that everyone of them has seen, who saved all things in the world!
This statue in front of you, which is more than four meters high, was built under official supervision.
The emperor once brought his ministers and the people to watch the unveiling of this statue.
Although the emperor hired the best craftsmen, and hundreds of people worked together to carve this statue into its current shape bit by bit from the huge stone, the finished product is not even three percent as handsome or majestic as the real person.
Now it is enshrined in the capital city, and people are allowed to burn incense and worship it. It will soon become a landmark building.
This god was named "True God".
This is the most common name, and many places have different names.
"I have seen the true God! When the true God was on earth, he often bought beggar's chicken from me!"
"Stop bragging! Aren't you afraid of getting your boast blown out of proportion?"
"Everything I said is true. If I say even a single lie, let the true God burn me to death with His divine fire!"
"At that time, the true God was traveling northwards, and many people had seen and come into contact with him!"
"I've seen that too! The true God even has a dog!"
"I know! There's a pretty boy following the real God!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was chatting enthusiastically suddenly fell silent.
I can't describe the weird feeling in my heart.
"How can you talk like that?!"
"Can you speak?"
Suddenly, several shoe soles hit the man with the shocking comment, and he quickly ran away with his head in his hands.
…………
Red silk is hung high and the word "囍" is posted.
The suona music for the wedding ceremony was deafening, and a long team of people wearing red clothes passed through the street.
The whole street is hung with red lanterns and decorated with colorful lights, making it very festive.
Neighbors stood on both sides with smiles on their faces, sharing in the joy.
"One sedan chair, two sedan chairs, three sedan chairs... five sedan chairs... Grandpa! There are five sedan chairs in total!" The child counted them one by one on his fingers, turned around and pulled the old man next to him and said loudly.
"Yes, haha, there are five!" The old man smiled and touched the top of his head.
"There are five bridal sedans, so can I ask for five portions of wedding candy?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Five sedan chairs were carried one after another along with the wedding procession into the escort agency which had been renovated and decorated with red silk.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth——"
The five couples were dressed in red, with the brides wearing red veils and the grooms wearing flowery hats. Each couple held a red tie in their hands, with the bride and groom holding one end each, and stood in front of the eaves, bowing to the sky.
"Bow to your parents twice—"
Fortunately, the escort agency was spacious enough, otherwise five pairs of parents would not be able to fit in.
"The couple bows to each other—"
The five couples stood in a row according to their seniority and bowed to each other.
After the ceremony, the guests who came to congratulate were invited to drink, and wedding candies were distributed to the neighbors. Everyone had a smile on their face and said congratulations.
"Congratulations! The bride and groom are such a perfect match!"
"Hahaha, thank you, Master. I toast you with this glass of wine!"
"Love is drawn by a thousand miles of fate, and love cannot be severed by mountains and rivers. Today, they have been determined to be together for a hundred years. I wish the five couples to grow old together!"
Someone raised his glass and congratulated loudly.
"good!"
The people sitting next to him applauded.
"Brothers, I offer a toast to you! Congratulations on finding your sister-in-law!" The man who had exchanged bodies with the coachman said with a smile, holding up his glass.
After the toast, sit down.
He covered his chest with his hands and the smile on his face gradually froze.
Among six brothers, he is the only lonely old bachelor.
Is this the feeling of suffocation?
The driver, with his family, was sitting next to him, and now he patted his shoulder with a comforting look on his face.
"Husband, eat some food~"
His wife picked up a piece of vegetarian food for him with chopsticks.
"Thank you, lady!"
The driver put down his hand that was trying to comfort the man and put his arm around his wife. The two looked at each other with infinite affection.
The man pounded his chest hard.
Ah, suffocating, I can’t breathe.
The five brothers and their brides stood together, looking very well matched.
The bride stayed with them in the escort agency for a while. With her strong body, she practiced martial arts every day, escorted escorts and fought, and traveled all over the world. She had already been infected with the spirit of the underworld and was no longer the weak woman in the small village who could be easily abducted by robbers.
At this time, the veil was lifted and the bride stood with the groom, listening to people's congratulations and talking with them.
Most of the guests were also people from the society, they were not particular about details and didn't think it was a big deal. But the girl's parents and relatives didn't care either and just smiled at them.
All of this was because of the huge life-and-death disaster that happened more than a month ago.
After surviving the disaster, people here are now more tolerant of everything, open-minded, and somewhat free and easy.
Even people or things that you disliked before seem to become particularly pleasing and lovely in your eyes.
"Hey." The bride gently nudged the groom beside her with her elbow.
The groom looked down at her.
"Go and toast?" the bride whispered, pointing to a place where the guests were seated.
The groom looked in the direction she pointed.
A handsome Taoist priest in a green robe and a white jade crown on his head sat sideways facing them.
There was a black dog squatting at his feet, looking at him with its mouth open and its tongue sticking out.
Next to them was a child who looked about six or seven years old, with his back to them, with only the back of his head with a small braid showing.
"Master." The two walked over.
Ming Xin turned his head, saw that it was them, and stood up.
"Congratulations on your marriage, and I wish you a long and happy marriage."
He smiled, and he looked much thinner, making his Taoist robe look even looser.
"I'll toast to you."
He picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank it all.
Neither side mentioned Luo Zheyu.
When the two of them left together, Ming Xin supported his head with one hand, and his wide sleeves slipped from his wrists.
Looking at their departing backs, I gradually became absent-minded.
It was still these people, and they got married.
All those who traveled together at the beginning are here.
Every familiar person reminds him of the past.
The blushing embarrassment when they first met, being tricked into staying at the door of the brothel, and the embarrassment after the brothel opened.
The tacit understanding of fighting together.
The leisurely and comfortable feeling while sightseeing.
The man's chuckle when he was teasing the ghost...
Although we have only been together for a few months, we have already become close friends.
Sadly, memories like this will no longer be added.
A chicken leg suddenly came to his mouth.
The little zombie grabbed a chicken leg in one hand and put it on Mingxin's mouth, with its sharp, black nails shining with oil.
Ming Xin lowered his eyes and looked at the chicken leg.
The chicken leg was no longer complete, having been bitten into several pieces.
He stretched out two fingers and gently pushed the little zombie's hand away, and the chicken leg returned to the little zombie's mouth.
"Eat it yourself, eat more."
Ming Xin rubbed the little zombie's head.
The little zombie opened his eyes wide and looked at him innocently, with dark circles under his eyes still thick.
"It's been a few months, why haven't you grown any taller..."
Ming Xin added another sentence, with some sadness.
The little zombie blinked and stuffed the chicken leg back into his mouth. He then wiped the palm of his hand that had originally held the chicken leg on Mingxin's Taoist robe, leaving five greasy fingerprints.
"...If you don't grow taller, how can I take good care of you..."
The big and small left the wedding banquet hand in hand.
The black dog followed slowly behind with a meat bone in its mouth.
All good things must come to an end. The world is vast and the living must continue to move forward.
