Chapter 4: Zombies using compasses? Are you kidding me?!
Zhang Xuan was a True Man of Longhu Mountain before his death, so he naturally had the responsibility to slay demons and exorcise evil spirits to deliver the souls of the dead.
But now, with his zombie-like appearance and the glowing light, it's rather absurd.
After performing the ritual to guide the departed souls to the afterlife, Zhang Xuan clapped his hands and turned around: "Layman, you can leave now. There shouldn't be any more zombies around."
Looking at his smiling face, Li Tiantian really wanted to tell him, "There's another zombie smiling at me."
"Has this Taoist priest not realized that he himself is a zombie?"
"This zombie even knows Taoist magic? That's outrageous!"
"What should we do when the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain arrive and see this zombie? Should they take it in or not?"
"Why bother with all this? Let's just get out of here."
"Sweetie, run! What if this Taoist priest realizes he's become a zombie and tries to suck your blood?"
Li Tiantian shrank her neck, then picked up her phone:
"Master...Master, you don't mind if I call the police, do you?"
Zhang Xuan nodded: "Sure."
The voice just fell.
Zhang Xuan received a new task again.
[Task 1: Absorb 500 units of Yin energy]
[Mission 2: The Taoist sect in this world has suffered a severe blow, its power has been weakened, the Five Thunder Orthodox Method has been lost, and the position of Celestial Master has been vacant for a long time. The most capable person will be chosen. Please ascend to the position of Celestial Master within one week and reorganize the Taoist sect.]
[Mission Hint: There's no one capable of fighting on Longhu Mountain. Do any of you know the Five Thunderbolts Orthodox Technique? You're here to seize the Celestial Master's position?]
Zhang Xuan: ? ? ? ? ?
Having already become a dried-up corpse, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this mission.
Damn it, this system is a piece of shit!
I'm a zombie! I'm a zombie!
If you want to train me to become a purple-robed celestial master, fine, I can tolerate it, since only you and I know about this.
But now Nima wants me to go to Longhu Mountain to compete for the position of Celestial Master?
Are you trying to make me shit on their head?
Zhang Xuan himself couldn't imagine what it would feel like to have a zombie fly out on the day of the Celestial Master election, shouting that it was all up to him and that the Celestial Master position was rightfully his.
He'd probably get ganged up on and killed, wouldn't he?
I could understand if you asked me to compete for the position of Corpse King, but you asked me to compete for the position of Celestial Master... I can't help but laugh at myself.
Even a dog would shake its head at this system.
"Now that the zombies here have been dealt with, I shall take my leave. Take care, layman!" With that, Zhang Xuan, dressed in a red robe, jumped out.
Li Tiantian: ? ? ? ? ?
Zhang Xuan himself: ? ? ? ? ?
Damn! Zombie DNA is ingrained in my bones; I almost forgot I'm a Taoist priest!
It then sprinted away, disappearing almost in the blink of an eye.
Now that Zhang Xuan has been resurrected, although his strength has been greatly reduced, the advantage is that his physical strength has increased dramatically.
After leaving the scene, Zhang Xuan kept thinking about the flying zombie that had escaped half a day earlier, as well as his Taoist disciples.
That flying zombie was very strong. It had already reached the Yuanfu realm a hundred years ago. Although it was forcibly sealed by itself, causing its strength to drop drastically, it still had at least the cultivation level of the Dharma Altar realm.
The Daoist sect is currently weak, and these disciples probably don't even have a single one at the Dharma Altar Realm. If they were to surround and kill a flying zombie, something unexpected might happen.
He had to find out where they had gone as soon as possible.
"Disciples and grand-disciples, do not let anything happen to you! Your ancestor is alive!"
Zhang Xuan flew up the tree and stood at the very top.
He closed his eyes and focused his breath, sensing the flow of energy around him. The moonlight shining on him actually enhanced his strength.
But there was absolutely no trace of it.
"As expected, I'm still not used to the zombies' methods; the Bagua compass is much more effective!"
He took out a golden-brown compass from the bag he carried with him; these were the magical artifacts that were in front of him.
It's easy to use.
Fortunately, he still had a trace of flying zombie aura on him, so using this wisp of aura to track him shouldn't be a problem.
He placed his right hand, with a sword-like finger, on his brow, channeled his spiritual energy, and then placed it on the compass.
The formula is recited as follows:
"Heaven has three wonders, Earth has six instruments. Spirits and monsters dwell, corpses and evil spirits roam. Yellow sand and red earth are places where corpses are nurtured. With a single glance from the compass, one can know the signs a hundred paces away. Where the drought demon roams, a chilling aura lingers. Where the needle points, there lies the corpse's dwelling. So be it!"
This is a Taoist Maoshan technique, specifically the Three Wonders Corpse-Finding Incantation, which is the core tracking method.
It can be used not only to locate zombies, but also to lock the location of drought demons and other similar creatures.
Immediately afterwards, recite the mantra while skipping, turning, and sinking the needle.
The energy flowed into the compass along Zhang Xuan's fingers.
at the same time.
Li Tiantian was still hesitating about whether to leave or not, after all, so many people had died here.
What should I say when the police arrive? Will it make sense?
She was afraid of being mistaken for a murderer if she left, but she was also very scared if she didn't leave, since there were body parts everywhere and what if another zombie jumped out?
Just as she was hesitating, a surprised voice came from the side.
"A little girl?"
"Young lady, what are you doing all alone in this desolate wilderness?"
Li Tiantian hurriedly turned around and saw a monk and a modern short-haired man wearing a long black robe and carrying a long sword walking towards her.
Seeing the two of them, Li Tiantian's panic subsided somewhat.
After all, one was a monk wearing a kasaya, and the other, although dressed in black, seemed to have a few words floating on his long black robe: "To stabilize the country and bring peace to the nation."
"Who...who are you?"
The monk arrived at the scene, frowned, and gently tapped the ground with his staff: "What a strong stench of corpses."
The man in black glanced at the tent next to him and the traces around him: "This should be where the Taoist disciples deal with the zombies, but I don't know why the zombies weren't burned. Instead, they came back to life."
Monk Guangren nodded: "Fortunately, judging from the traces at the scene, although the corpse had turned into a zombie, it was dealt with by the Taoist disciples."
Immediately.
The two then turned to Li Tiantian, who had remained silent beside them: "Young lady, are these corpses your friends? You must have stumbled upon this place by mistake?"
Li Tiantian nodded hurriedly, about to explain.
Xu Feng, dressed in black, stepped forward and abruptly turned off her live-streaming phone: "Sorry, the situation here does not allow live streaming or filming."
She nodded in understanding and then told the two of them exactly what had just happened.
Even a glowing zombie was mentioned.
The two men's expressions changed drastically: "What did you say? A zombie escaped in the end?"
Li Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, no, although the last zombie ran away, I didn't feel it was a bad guy. It kept using vulgar language..."
Before she could finish speaking...
The two had already walked out, and Li Tiantian could only watch their departing figures and hear their faint echoes.
"Young lady, please wait here. I have already reported the situation back to you, and the relevant authorities will be here to handle it soon. Don't be afraid."
"That zombie, Monk Guangren, ran this way! Let's chase it!"
Monk Guangren: "No zombie can escape my nose!"
Li Tiantian was stunned.
Oh no... Did I mess up? They ran away before I could even finish my sentence!
Zombie Taoist Priest, no! Run! Monks are coming to get you!
