Chapter 33: Zombie King Cannot Lose Face

The method of raising corpse soldiers rewarded by the Sutra of Saving People was much better than the method Shi Jiulu cultivated, or rather, this was the true Dao soldier raising method of the Zongwu Mansion in the Shu region.

"Close the doors and windows, prevent fire and theft—"

At the second watch of the Hai hour, Xu Qing, who had been sitting quietly for an hour, suddenly opened his eyes, and countless talisman spells outlined and formed in front of his eyes.

He had already understood the true meaning of raising corpse soldiers.

Taking out the white seal soldier talisman that controlled the Dao soldiers, Xu Qing forced out a wisp of pure yin energy and merged it into the soldier talisman. Then he took out a cinnabar talisman pen from his pocket and began to wave it freely on Shi Jiulu's body.

In a short while, various strange talisman characters began to climb from Shi Jiulu's chest, and then grew wildly and spread to his whole body.

At a glance, it looked like various taboo curse patterns drawn on the body of a shaman or witch.

The moment Xu Qing stopped his hand, the corpse in front of him moved!

Shi Jiulu opened his muddy gray-white eyes, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on the person who carved the talisman.

Xu Qing stood up and took two steps back, and Shi Jiulu, who had been refined into a corpse soldier, also stood up straight and followed step by step.

Front foot, back foot, left, left, right, right, right, right, left, left.

Damn! It turned out he didn't refine a corpse soldier, but a dance partner who danced the tango.

However, Xu Qing understood in his heart that the reason for this phenomenon wasn't that the raising method was problematic, but because he used the Sutra of Saving People to "liberate" the other party.

Like the cat-faced corpse soldier refined by Shi Jiulu, because there was still a remnant soul in the body, it would appear more agile.

And the Shi Jiulu in front of him had been completely "liberated." At this time, he was just a walking corpse without any thinking, and could only be controlled by the corpse-driving method, with no great use.

Xu Qing thought about it and simply came to the place where the tools were placed, taking out the hoes, iron shovels, and other things needed for burying corpses and digging graves.

Behind him, Shi Jiulu, with dead fish eyes, still followed step by step.

Xu Qing came to the middle of the courtyard, picked a good position to open the pit, and began to set an example for Shi Jiulu, letting him learn to hoe the ground and dig the pit with his own movements.

After the pits were dug, he came to the first pit and bared his teeth at the not-so-smart Shi Jiulu.

The latter also tried to bare his teeth, but only his skin trembled slightly, and he didn't succeed.

Xu Qing scratched his head, wondering how to deal with this silly thing.

Who would have thought that the other party tilted his head and actually reached out to scratch his head.

"..."

Could this silly thing become a corpse soldier who fights on the battlefield?

Xu Qing silently jumped into the dirt pit. Seeing Shi Jiulu follow, he casually raised the hoe in his hand, banged it on the other party's forehead, and sent him directly into the soil.

The Zombie King's first little brother couldn't be a fool, otherwise, if it spread out in the future, how much face would he lose!

Under the moon, the diligent gardener was covering the fresh soil.

Using an iron shovel to pat the last bit of floating soil solid, Xu Qing thought about it and opened two new pits on the side.

At this time, it was midnight, the clouds in the sky were getting thicker, and the entire courtyard was gradually filled with mist.

Xu Qing opened the courtyard door, pushed the empty flatbed cart, walked along the street, and disappeared into the night.

He never forgot that there were still two clients waiting for their funeral in Linhe Ward tonight, and he couldn't keep the clients waiting.

According to Shi Jiulu's memory, Xu Qing crossed the Water Gate Bridge, passed through the vegetable market, and wandered to the door of a house.

The courtyard door of this house wasn't high. It was two short doors one person high combined together, and there was a gap one foot wide on it, typical of preventing villains but not gentlemen.

Is Xu Qing a villain?

Not entirely.

Is he a gentleman?

Not entirely either.

He was just a living dead person, a person not recognized by secular concepts.

So, Xu Qing put on the finger tiger and politely knocked on the courtyard door.

In the courtyard, one could vaguely see the candlelight from the house windows in the thin mist.

"Shuangxi, you go out and see, maybe Old Nine Shi is back after finishing work..."

"You're closer to the door, why don't you go?"

"How about we draw lots, whoever loses goes to open the door."

"Draw lots my ass, it's just opening a broken door, could it be that you'll meet a ghost?"

"..."

Xu Qing listened to the movement inside and suddenly felt a move in his heart, suddenly waking up.

The other party is human, he is a zombie. Since he is an evil spirit and ghost, shouldn't he follow the customs and learn the style of ghosts and spirits?

Xu Qing felt more reasonable the more he thought about it.

Thinking of this, he turned his back and only showed the back of his head to the courtyard door.

In the courtyard, Li Shuangxi had just finished drinking, his head was dizzy, and he came to the courtyard door on his tiptoes.

"Hey, Old Nine, why did you go for so long..."

Pulling the door open, Li Shuangxi saw a person standing with his back to him.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was waiting for the other party to turn around, but he saw the back of the person's head twist and change, just like a few loaches hidden in the scalp. In a blink of an eye, a human face full of sinister smiles appeared.

"Do you think I look like a human or a ghost?"

In the middle of the night, suddenly a person with a face on the back of his head asks you if you look like a human or a ghost. Just ask you if your heart feels hair-raising?

It was because Li Shuangxi had been a corpse-driver and had heard and seen some strange things, otherwise he would have been scared to shit on the spot.

Even so, his drunkenness was scared away by more than half.

Almost without thinking, he turned around and wanted to run back to the courtyard, but how could Xu Qing give him a chance? With the knife-hiding technique in the two-faced three-knives, Li Shuangxi's head fell to the ground with a thud!

Xu Qing tilted the back of his head. The corpse-driving craftsmen of this year were not very good, their skin was too brittle. You can let him control the corpse remotely, but once someone gets close, it's like beating a son on a fishing boat, he can't even run!

Solving Li Shuangxi, Xu Qing turned his body, his face returned to normal, and he looked at the main room in the courtyard.

I saw another son full of alcohol, who had already heard the sound and came out with a knife.

When he saw the brother's corpse separated from the body in the courtyard, and the cold-faced white-faced youth in the courtyard, Qiu Ping trembled all over, only feeling a cold air rushing from his tailbone to his heavenly spirit cover.

Who is this person? Their brothers hadn't been in Linhe for long, and they hadn't committed any crimes during this period, and hadn't had time to form enemies with anyone...

It couldn't be that the Zongwu Mansion people were chasing deserters and chased them here, right?

"Who exactly are you, why do you want to kill my brother?!"

Xu Qing smiled: "Me, I'm the same as you, also a corpse-driving craftsman in the Yin Sect."

"Since you are a fellow practitioner, why do you want to commit murder in the middle of the night? We haven't offended you..."

The knife-wielding Qiu Ping said while talking, but his other hand reached to his waist to take off his Dao soldier Yin talisman.

How could Xu Qing give the other party a chance to perform the pre-swing to summon Dao soldiers? He kicked the ground with his front heel, and his iron-skinned body was like a human cannonball, almost instantly appearing on Qiu Ping's face, and then the Tiger Seal Dragon Elephant Fist followed, roaring out!

The next moment, the other party flew out like a broken sack, hitting the house wall solidly!

This was not to mention taking the Dao soldier Yin talisman, I'm afraid all the bones in his body were scattered, and he had no strength to do anything else.

Coming to the front, Xu Qing added two punches, and after seeing the other party completely lose his breath, he opened his mouth:

"Enemies are bound to meet, who told us to be fellow practitioners."
