Chapter 206: Black-Haired Zombie

Lin Jue felt a bit strange and couldn't help but walk up.

"What happened to Lord Luo?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two strong men lying next to Luo Seng.

Both of them were shirtless, lying in the courtyard, not covered with quilts, the purpose being to inhibit the spread of corpse poison and corpse aura on their bodies by basking in the sun, which was also a common folk method.

And these two, apart from the ferocious scratch marks on their chests and backs, could also be seen to have extremely sturdy physiques; the muscular flesh wrapped in a thin layer of fat gave a great visual shock, which was clearly distinguishable from other people in the village, even the retainers raised in the wealthy families.

These two were probably the heroes from the Jianghu that Luo Seng mentioned, who were entrusted by him to guard here.

Only hearing Luo Seng say in a deep voice:

"Before I left, the number of people falling ill in the village was the highest, so by the night of a few days ago, many people had become black-haired zombies and were piled together. Originally, although this kind of black-haired zombie is fiercer than the white-haired zombie, it is not difficult for these heroes from the Jianghu to deal with them with their skills. Unfortunately, a powerful black-haired zombie came last night, and after the heroes and several constables in the county fought to the death, only these two are left alive."

Lin Jue couldn't help but have his expression freeze.

The so-called black-haired zombie and white-haired zombie actually have no difference in strength; it's just that after a person dies and becomes fierce, if they grow black hair, they are called black-haired zombies, and if they grow white hair, they are called white-haired zombies.

It is said that black-haired zombies are mostly caused by resentful evil aura, while white-haired zombies are mostly created by the timing, geography, and spiritual aura.

Generally speaking, black-haired zombies are fiercer, hiding during the day and coming out at night, and can still move even after their heads are cut off.

White-haired zombies are more cunning; it is said that some can come out to harm people during the day, but they are fat at night and thin during the day, and some can even attain the Dao and become spirits.

Both have deep black eyes with green eyes in the middle.

There are also some white bones that become spirits, which is actually a kind of zombie; zombies that become spirits and demons are also called corpse demons.

Actually, this is like a ghost: after a person dies, if the soul does not dissipate, it becomes a ghost; if the flesh does not rot, it becomes a zombie. Ghosts often have those who have attained good fortune, and zombies also have those who practice; it all depends on opportunity.

Lin Jue looked at the two heroes at this time and felt sighing.

"What about that black-haired zombie?"

"It left after eating people."

"Were they all eaten?"

"Some were eaten, some were not. When I arrived this morning, I had already burned them."

Luo Seng couldn't help but be somewhat silent.

Lin Jue naturally knew what he was thinking. If he had arrived a day earlier, perhaps things would have been different. However, a person like him had already experienced the vicissitudes of the Jianghu and naturally knew that there was no such thing as "knowing early" in this world, so he wouldn't say such words out loud.

Lin Jue didn't say anything either, just asked: "How many people are left in the village?"

"Four or five out of ten."

"So five or six out of ten are gone."

"Was the road smooth for you, Daoist?"

"There are soldiers guarding, but they block people from going out, not from coming in."

"That's it."

"Tomorrow is a sunny day, and the day after tomorrow is too. It has been sun-dried for a day today, and in another two days, I estimate the snake horn can be sun-dried."

Lin Jue looked up at the sky.

Unknowingly, it was already the time when autumn was high and the air was crisp.

Then he looked at the villagers who had all been moved to the courtyard.

"Basking in the sun is a method, but our Xiao Xiao Shimei and I both practice Yin-Yang spiritual methods, and we can also apply some magical power to make the corpse poison spread more slowly. It should allow most people to hold on until the day after tomorrow or the day after that. Then we will wait here for that black-haired zombie to come to the door."

The villagers around heard this, whether standing, sitting, or lying down, all looked at him.

"Then many thanks to you, Daoist," Luo Seng said. "Such things still need you, Daoist, to do."

"We don't have much ability. It's a pity that my Fifth Third Third Shixiong is not here, otherwise, even without the Poison-Absorbing Stone, he would have other ways to cure this corpse poison."

Lin Jue shook his head.

It was also a pity that his "Qi-Sealing Method" was still at the introductory stage, only able to stop bleeding, not yet reaching the point of sealing Qi. Otherwise, even if he couldn't cure this corpse poison, he could stop it.

Xiao Xiao Shimei didn't say much, just worked hard.

The two Third Shixiong and Junior siblings were both busy.

This corpse poison was more concrete and domineering than the death aura of Li Village back then, but it ultimately belonged to Yin. Both of them practiced Yin-Yang spiritual methods, and the magical power in their bodies was divided into Yin and Yang. As long as they input a little "Yang" magical power into the poisoned villagers, it could naturally slow down the spread of the corpse poison.

However, they had to control the amount well.

If the amount was too large, it would fight fiercely with the corpse poison in the person's body, and the poisoned person was already weak, so how could they bear it?

It just so happened that the two of them also had to keep some magical power.

Unknowingly, it was dark again.

Many villagers were moved back to their rooms, leaving people to guard overnight, and the courtyard became empty again.

A hook-shaped moon rose above the courtyard wall.

The three of them were sitting in the courtyard.

Xiao Xiao Shimei sat cross-legged, with her long sword placed horizontally on her knees.

Luo Seng no longer held his bow, but wore a long blade at his waist and held a long spear in his hand, wiping the spearhead silently and carefully.

Lin Jue sat with the fox.

Suddenly, the fox seemed to have a reaction, stretching its neck to look at the gate.

This family's courtyard was very large, and the gate was vermilion.

However, vaguely, a blurry figure passed through the door and walked in from the gate.

Xiao Xiao Shimei's expression froze, and she immediately grasped the hilt of her sword.

The fox was also ready to go.

But this was just an ordinary new ghost.

"Third Shixiong Xu?"

Luo Seng had just stood up carrying his long spear, ready to throw it at any time, but stopped abruptly. He looked at this ghost and immediately said to the Daoist beside him: "Don't be nervous, two Daoists, this is a hero from the Jianghu I know, named Xu Jing."

Lin Jue and his companion also looked at this ghost.

This ghost was burly and dressed in cloth clothes, also dressed as a person from the Jianghu. Although he had no Daoist practice, because he was a new ghost, he looked better than many old ghosts in the wild who looked like residual candles and rotten cotton.

"Lord Luo! You are back!"

The ghost also looked at Luo Seng, his expression quite excited.

"How did you become a ghost?"

Luo Seng looked at him carefully, feeling unbearable in his heart, but his expression was calm.

"I was killed by that monster with long black hair. I am already dead, and I am unwilling, so naturally, I became a ghost," the ghost said.

"What about the others..."

"The others don't know why. Perhaps that black-haired monster is quite powerful. Although they were also unwilling, they didn't become ghosts, but left residual souls and obsessions, all wandering outside, wanting to take revenge and eliminate the evil monster," the ghost showed an unbearable and sorrowful look. "If you go to the place where they died, Lord Luo, you might be able to see them."

Such words really made people feel unbearable to hear.

"Perhaps it's because I learned the method of guidance from an old physician when I was a child, so my soul is stronger, and that's why I stayed and became a ghost."

"Don't worry, Third Shixiong Xu! Although you and I have only known each other for a short time, since Third Shixiong Xu was guarding here at my request and died here, no matter what, I will definitely avenge you," Luo Seng said this calmly, but it hid a determination as heavy as a mountain. "Does Third Shixiong Xu have any wishes? You can tell me."

"Why do you say that, Lord Luo?"

The ghost disagreed:

"We just heard that there were monsters causing trouble here, and a wealthy family offered a reward. It just so happened that we heard the famous Lord Luo also came here, so we came here with Lord Luo, wanting to earn some fame and profit. Before, Lord Luo went out to find a solution, and we guarded here, it was just a division of labor. Our death here was just unfortunate. Lord Luo must not blame yourself too much! Besides, saying it like this is a bit disrespectful to us!"

"It is my fault."

Luo Seng didn't argue with him and said without hesitation.

"I have no wishes, Third Shixiong Xu. I only hope that Lord Luo can kill that black-haired zombie monster, avenge us, and in the future, sweep away the demons in Qin Zhou. If you can return a bright and clear world to the world, I will be satisfied."

"Definitely!"

"Not good! That thing is here!"

The ghost seemed to have a reaction and looked towards the north of the courtyard.

That black-haired zombie monster might really be somewhat terrifying. Even though he was already dead, seeing that monster come again, although his face was angry and sorrowful, he still hid a bit of fear.

Only Luo Seng, with a long blade at his waist and a silver spear in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked in that direction, jumped, and went over the courtyard wall.

"Third Third Shixiong..."

"I'm going too!"

"Then I will guard here!"

"Be careful!"

Lin Jue and Xiao Xiao Shimei exchanged glances and also climbed over the wall.

Fortunately, this wall was lower than the one in Huizhou.

Fuyao followed Luo Seng closely, while Lin Jue followed Fuyao's white shadow, walking through the village all the way.

There was almost no one left in other parts of the village, but some livestock like pigs, cattle, and sheep were left, but most of them had died, leaving only dried corpses.

When they reached the north of the village, they really saw some residual souls and obsessions wandering in the street, vaguely recognizable as the attire of martial artists and constables. Not far from a cowshed, a black wind was floating in the alley. Seeing this black-haired zombie monster that caused their death, those residual souls and obsessions all rushed up, but were blocked by the black wind.

They couldn't do anything to the black-haired zombie.

The black-haired zombie didn't want to bother with them either.

Luo Seng's speed was really fast. Although he didn't have Fuyao's ability to ride the wind and walk on walls, seeing him step on the roof eaves and cross courtyard walls and gullies, he was also running like the wind.

The black-haired zombie turned its head abruptly.

Only to see a martial artist holding a silver spear, swooping down from the courtyard wall, throwing a spear with the momentum of falling, looking like a smashing fall and also like a shooting star.

With a muffled bang!

The black-haired zombie was fierce and had weak rationality, and the martial artist also had no nonsense. In the blink of an eye, both sides had already collided.

By the time Lin Jue arrived, they were already fighting in the open space at the north entrance of the village.

Only to see that it was a tall and fierce humanoid monster. Because it was covered with dense and lush black hair, even its face was no exception, its specific appearance could no longer be seen, only a pair of green eyes floating in the dark night, and every gesture carried black smoke.

That black smoke was thick corpse aura, very poisonous, so much so that those residual souls and obsessions couldn't get close even if they wanted to take revenge, and even Daoists with magical power had to spend a bit of energy and magical power to protect themselves.

But the martial artist relied on a surge of blood energy and was not afraid at all, rushing into the black smoke to fight with the black-haired zombie.

Seeing that the black-haired zombie was fierce and incomparable, rushing forward crazily regardless of anything, waving its sharp claws.

But no matter how it rushed forward, it always kept the distance of a long spear from the martial artist, and no matter how it waved its claws, there was always a refined steel spearhead slapping on its hand.

"Awoo!"

The black-haired zombie used all its strength to pounce forward.

The martial artist in front also had top-tier martial arts in the world, and was full of anger, also let out a muffled grunt, stopped his retreating footsteps, and instead sent the long spear into its chest.

Under the moonlight was a silver dragon coming out of a cave!

The black-haired zombie intended to resist hard, but this martial artist seemed to have great strength, and this long spear was inserted into its indestructible chest, actually making a puff sound, piercing half a spearhead inside.

The water buffalo in the cowshed next to it was trembling constantly.

Luo Seng was indeed highly skilled, but for such an evil thing, let alone half a spearhead piercing the chest, even if the chest was pierced through entirely, and pierced several more times, it would still be fine.

The black-haired zombie simply carried the long spear and strode forward, until it pushed the martial artist against the wall, unable to retreat, only then did it wave its claws again, grabbing towards his head.

Swish!

There was an extra claw mark on the blue brick wall.

But the martial artist was gone.

As soon as the black-haired zombie turned its head, a long blade flashing with cold light slashed down towards its forehead. A cold light under the moon, actually a bit more complete and bright than the hook-shaped moon in the sky at this time.

Even within it, there was vaguely carrying Gang Qi.

Although the black-haired zombie didn't have much intelligence, it instinctively raised its hand to block.

With a clang!

That arm was as thick as a person's leg, and even the black hair on it was like steel wire, indestructible and possessing infinite strength, naturally blocking this blade.

But the blade light was continuous like water.

One blade after another slashed down, and there was almost no gap between them. The blade light also connected into a piece, and only by listening to the continuous sound of cutting gold could one hear the number of slashes.

Even the wind brought up by the long blade made its black hair shake constantly, and the black aura was surging randomly like mountain mist in the wind.

Even if the black-haired zombie lacked rationality, it also sensed something wrong.

This martial artist was not ordinary.

Completely different from those last night.

But just this martial artist was already difficult to deal with, and yet there were several pains coming from its back.

"Ding ding..."

It was the sound of the flying sword being flicked to the ground.

No matter how high Lin Jue's magical power was, the flying sword driven by the spell couldn't compare to the blade slashed by a top-tier martial artist like Luo Seng, but these four flying swords had the blessing of the Sword Attachment Spell, which was a means specifically used to deal with these evil things, and it immediately made it feel pain.

With a roar, it forced back this martial artist. As soon as it turned around, it saw a Daoist pushing a palm towards itself.

In its eyes, there was first a point of orange-yellow light, like a lamp, and the next moment, a fire dragon rushed out from the lamp, sweeping towards itself. ===== CHAPTER 207 =====
