Chapter 405
:
In the time it took to sleep for a night, I saw two batches of living corpses.
The living corpses held farm tools such as shovels and rakes, which seemed to have been snatched from the villagers' homes. These farm tools turned into weapons at this moment, which was very dangerous.
"Not to mention, as expected of the Huangzhou, you can't encounter this kind of thing in other places. I've gained knowledge." Lu Yang teased, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, taking out the Qingfeng Sword, his expression relaxed, and the sword light shining brightly under the reflection of the candle fire.
Although the number of living corpses was considerable and they carried weapons, they surrounded the ancestral hall, but they were two dignified Golden Core stage seniors. They could establish small families abroad, and they were existences that could establish sects and become ancestors. How could they be trapped by wild living corpses?
"No wonder the people in the village didn't let us stay in the village. It was because they were afraid of danger, right? And what about being eaten by corpses? Is it talking about this situation now?"
Although the people in the village didn't have a good attitude towards themselves, Meng Jingzhou was not a person who held grudges. It was nothing to help the village solve the trouble.
"Look, there is a woman among the corpses!" Lu Yang pointed to one of the disheveled female corpses and shouted in surprise.
Meng Jingzhou was confused: "Whose dead person distinguishes between men and women? Isn't it normal to have female corpses?"
"I mean, isn't it that you can't meet women because of karmic backlash now? Now you can meet female corpses. This shows that your karmic backlash target is limited to living people. Dead corpses, demon tribes, etc., are not included. If you can't solve the problem in the Huangzhou, you can go to the Demon Domain for a while, until the Spirit Transformation stage."
"Go to hell, I don't believe Senior Sister won't come!" Meng Jingzhou said angrily, taking the lead to move, meeting the living corpses.
"Crushing Fist!" Meng Jingzhou held his fists with both hands, presenting a horn shape, and topped the living corpses fiercely.
Boom—
The living corpses exploded, and the living corpses that were pouring into the ancestral hall were knocked away by this punch, revealing a passage.
"Hey, such hard corpses." Meng Jingzhou was surprised. He thought these corpses were wild corpses from somewhere, with fragile bodies, and a Crushing Fist was enough to smash them.
"Fairy, these living corpses are not infectious, right?" Lu Yang originally wanted to stop Meng Jingzhou from making a move, to figure out if there was any danger before making a move. Now it seems a bit late.
"What do you mean by infectious?" The Decayed Fairy was puzzled by Lu Yang's question.
"It means that if a living person is bitten, they also become a living corpse."
The Decayed Fairy looked at Lu Yang with the eyes of an idiot, not understanding why he would think so: "Of course not. Rather, I haven't even heard of such a thing. Why would you think so?"
"A sudden whim."
Ensuring that he would not be infected, Lu Yang was relieved and bold enough to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Once they fought, Lu Yang also found that these living corpses were surprisingly hard, and they must have been refined by a master.
"But just relying on you to eat us is a daydream!" The two laughed and threw all the living corpses in the ancestral hall out.
In the eyes of the living corpses, they surrounded Lu Yang and his companion, but in the eyes of Lu Yang and his companion, they surrounded the living corpses.
"Don't even think about escaping, today our brothers will eliminate harm for the people!"
The two were about to display their unique skills to sweep away this group of living corpses when they heard an old voice ringing not far away.
"Two little brothers, please show mercy, they have no malice!"
The visitor was the old man who had refused the two to stay at the beginning.
"It was me who scared you two that they eat people. They actually want to go to the ancestral hall to eat offerings, and it just so happened that you two went to the ancestral hall."
Hearing this, the two were stunned. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the living corpses had no intention of attacking them from beginning to end.
The two tentatively stopped, and found that the living corpses really didn't attack them, but bypassed them and walked into the ancestral hall.
After the living corpses entered the ancestral hall, the two came to the old man and asked for the reason.
The old man sighed and said: "I am the village chief of this Jianshi Village. The matter of living corpses is hard for you two to believe. Let's watch first."
Then he saw the living corpses pouring into the ancestral hall, circling around the hot steamed buns. Not long after, the steamed buns became cold, and the heat was gone. Only then did the living corpses stop.
When they left the ancestral hall, they saw the living corpses holding shovels, rakes, plows, etc., walking in unison, walking out of Jianshi Village neatly.
The three followed the living corpses all the way. The living corpses didn't go far. They came to the fields and stopped moving forward, picking up shovels, plows, and other tools to plow the land.
Some living corpses also used shoulder poles to fetch water from the river, working tirelessly to water the land.
Others had no tools, squatting on the ground to pull wild grass and pinch pests.
The living corpses had a clear division of labor, looking like diligent old farmers.
After finishing the land and completing today's tasks, the living corpses took the farm tools from the cultivated fields to the entrance of the village, from the entrance of the village to the graveyard at the end of the village, and used the farm tools in their hands to dig holes and bury themselves.
Lu Yang: "....."
Meng Jingzhou: "....."
The two rubbed their eyebrows painfully, thinking they had hallucinations.
"Do people in your Huangzhou use living corpses to plow the land?"
This is much more advanced than other provinces. Even their Congwendao Sect can't compare.
Their Congwendao Sect uses the Green-Eyed Water Buffalo tribe and the Third Elder to plow the land.
The village chief of Jianshi Village explained helplessly: "It's not what you two imagine. We are just ordinary people, how can we afford so many living corpses."
"Actually, we don't know where this group of living corpses came from. It was just one night by chance. When we were cooling off under the tree at the entrance of the village, we saw a group of living corpses walking over. At first, everyone was very afraid, thinking that the living corpses were going to attack me. But after contact, I found that this group of living corpses had no intention of harming people. Probably because their strength was exhausted, they stopped in our village and didn't leave."
"Although our village has no corpse-drivers, I followed a corpse-driver for a period of time when I was young and learned a little bit, so I tried to steam steamed buns to feed this group of living corpses."
"This method really worked, and the living corpses moved again. At this time, someone suggested whether the living corpses could plow the land. I thought this was a way, so I drove these living corpses and asked them to plow the land."
"In this way, we rest during the day, steam a pot of steamed buns in the evening, put them in the ancestral hall, and wait until the night, the living corpses crawl out of the graveyard, absorb the yang energy in the steamed buns, and start plowing. Because everyone is still afraid of the living corpses, every household closes their doors at night."
【Text garbled】
"After plowing, the living corpses will automatically bury themselves, wait until the next night, and repeat this."
"Not to mention, since the living corpses plowed for us, life has been much easier, and we can have time to do other things. Then why won't you let us stay?"
The village chief confessed honestly: "It's not because I'm afraid that you will find out that there are ownerless living corpses here and report it to the government. The government will find owners for them. When the owners are found, won't it become our plowing again?"
"We originally wanted to scare you away, but who would have thought that not only would you not leave, but you would stay in the ancestral hall. I saw that no matter what, the matter would be exposed. Instead of you being injured by the living corpses, it's better for me to come forward and explain."
