Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 105: Maoshan Disciples Gather
In response to Uncle Jiu's call, Maoshan disciples arrived one after another.

More than twenty disciples from the 35th generation arrived, each with their own apprentices, and the charity cemetery was completely overwhelmed. So, with the exception of Li Kunshan, everyone else, including Zhe Gu and Nian Ying, was accommodated in the town's inn.

Two days after Li Kunshan arrived, Taoist Master Simu, Taoist Master Qianhe and others also arrived.

"Let's discuss something first."

After greeting each other, Uncle Jiu said something, then his face turned serious and he asked Qiu Sheng and the others to leave.

Bang~!

Qiu Sheng and the others were about to say something when the door closed and they almost hit their noses.

"Why are you being so secretive?"

"That's right, it's just about catching ghosts."

Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, Jia Le, Dong, Nan, Xi, Nian Ying, Ah Hao, Ah Qiang, a group of people were lying on the door, but they could not hear anything. They could not help but mutter a few words, and were not convinced.

"Kunshan is also a 36th generation disciple. Why is he in there?"

"Senior Brother Li has received the talismanic ordination, which is different from ours."

"Tsk, you don't need to tell me. I don't know. Nianying, you just prefer Kunshan."

Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes and turned to Dongnanxi and the others, confused again.

"By the way, why isn't Lu Ming here? Didn't he also receive the ordination? Logically, he should be able to sit inside as well."

"Junior Brother Bei encountered a powerful red-robed fire ghost some time ago and was injured. He is still recovering from his injuries."

"Is that so? Tell me in detail what's going on..."

Outside the door, Qiu Sheng and the others looked gossipy.

In the room, Uncle Jiu and others sat down.

Li Kunshan was the youngest in seniority and sat at the end, next to his mother.

"The reason I sent a message to all my fellow apprentice brothers to help this time is, to be honest, because it was Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai who caused the trouble."

Straight to the point, Uncle Jiu explained the whole story.

Li Kunshan arrived two days earlier and already knew about it.

In the movie Zombie Supreme, on the day of the Ghost Festival, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai listened to a ghost show, but were deceived by a female ghost. She used Uncle Jiu's soul-calming talisman to knock down the ghost messenger who was guarding the ghosts.

Without the ghost catcher's deterrent, those wandering ghosts instantly fled and are now scattered all over the world. If they are not caught quickly, they will probably cause trouble everywhere and cause a big mess.

Moreover, the ghost messenger from the underworld also came to the door and asked Uncle Jiu, as the master, to take responsibility and resolve the matter.

Although Uncle Jiu is very powerful in Taoism, he is only one person after all. It would take him a long time to capture so many ghosts.

There was no other way but to swallow my pride and cast a spell to ask my fellow disciples to come and help.

"They are just some little devils. Let's all help and catch them back quickly."

After all, they are just some wandering ghosts, and this is actually not a difficult thing to do.

Taoist Simu waved his hand, looking relaxed.

Taoist Qianhe also nodded, and also didn't take it to heart.

Uncle Jiu paused for a moment, then continued speaking.

"This matter is indeed simple, but in fact, there is one more thing."

"Anything else? I wonder if those two bastards have gotten into any more trouble."

"This matter has nothing to do with Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, but I believe its importance is no less than that of the escaped soul."

Uncle Jiu spoke so seriously that everyone else, including Li Kunshan, was instantly startled.

There was actually one thing that even Li Kunshan didn't know.

Uncle Jiu continued with a serious expression.

"Actually, everyone should already be aware of this matter. What I want to talk about is the Zombie Alliance."

"Zombie Alliance?"

Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.

In fact, apart from Li Kunshan, everyone has more or less dealt with the Zombie Alliance in the past one or two years, and gradually realized how powerful it is and its unscrupulous evil style!
"In the past two months, I've noticed a lot of people from the Zombie Alliance suddenly appearing around Renjia Town. I suspect they have some conspiracy."

Uncle Jiu's expression became more serious, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Since they dare to cause trouble, let's take this opportunity to join forces with our fellow disciples and wipe out this evil gang!"

"All in one pot? Great!"

"That's right! I've been wanting to vent my anger for a long time!"

Thinking about how they were transporting the royal zombies and almost died at the hands of the Zombie Alliance, Taoist Master Simu and Taoist Master Qianhe felt annoyed.

There wasn't much conflict between Zhe Gu and the Zombie Alliance, but she followed the husband's lead, so she did whatever Uncle Jiu said.

As for Mamadi, although he is also a disciple of the 35th generation, his strength is not that good. He is just there to make up the numbers and just follow the crowd.

"Actually, when I came here, I also met people from the Zombie Alliance."

Li Kunshan spoke and told everyone about what happened to Wei Sui on the way to Coffin Mountain.

"really!"

Everyone nodded again, which further proved that it was not that Uncle Jiu was too sensitive, but that the Zombie Alliance was indeed gathering towards Renjia Town.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. There must be some conspiracy!
"Why Renjia Town? What is there in Renjia Town that interests them?"

"not……"

Taoist Qianhe and Taoist Simu looked at each other and quickly looked at Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu had a serious expression and shook his head slightly, indicating that he should not say it out loud.

"If that's the case, then they deserve to die!"

Zhe Gu snorted lightly, with a mocking look on her face.

"Hey, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Except for Li Kunshan, everyone else was confused and annoyed.

"You guys are always like this, never telling me anything. Then why did you ask me to come?"

"Things from Renjia Town..."

Li Kunshan frowned slightly and pondered in his heart.

I had previously learned from Shancai Tongzi that the Ren family had a special bloodline and was most suitable for refining zombies.

Could it be that this time, just like last time, the Zombie Alliance’s target is the Ren family?

But unfortunately, Mr. Ren and Ren Tingting were not in town in the past month.

And that's not right. If it's just for the Ren family, one evil spirit would be enough, there's no need to mobilize so many troops.

In addition to Wei Sui, Uncle Jiu said that there were at least seven or eight other evil spirits appearing nearby.

This scale has exceeded the scale of robbing the royal zombies.

Speaking of which, when Ren Tingting came to Hehuan Town, Li Kunshan promised to go back to Renjia Town to see her, but he didn't do it even after a year.

Now that I'm here, Ren Tingting is not here again.

"Kunshan, you deal with the Zombie Alliance the most, so you should introduce their situation."

Just as I was daydreaming, Uncle Jiu suddenly said something.

"Yes."

Li Kunshan came back to his senses, organized his thoughts a little, and began to introduce himself.

"As the name suggests, the Zombie Alliance is an organization focused on collecting and refining zombies. Its members are divided into three levels: righteous gods, evil gods, and secular gods. Secular gods are the lowest level and are considered peripheral members. As far as I know, the highest-ranking member among them is called Fang Xiangshi..."

In the room, Uncle Jiu and others chatted for more than an hour before coming out.

Qiu Sheng, Wencai and others who were originally lying at the door and eavesdropping could not hear anything because of the talisman cast by Uncle Jiu, so they were now playing in the yard.

Qiu Sheng dragged Ah Hao to study the door lock of Uncle Jiu's ear room, Jia Le and Ah Qiang were showing off their muscles, Wen Cai was circling around Nian Ying, Dong Nan Xi and Dong Nan were the most obedient, but they were not much better, doing a handstand at the foot of the wall.

Standing at the door, Uncle Jiu and others shook their heads and sighed, it was simply too unbearable to watch.

Two days later, almost all the Maoshan disciples who were supposed to come after seeing the message arrived.

Time is running out and we can't delay any longer.

In the central hall of the cemetery, Uncle Jiu sat at the head of the table, with the other thirty-fifth-generation disciples seated on either side. Although Li Kunshan was the thirty-sixth generation, having also been ordained, he sat at the end, the only one of the thirty-sixth generation to have a seat. Everyone wore yellow Taoist robes and hats, with one or two direct disciples standing behind them, wearing yellow Taoist vests.

"So impressive."

At the door, Mao Shanming secretly looked inside with envy on his face.

Although he pretended to be a disciple of Maoshan and cheated people, he was actually full of yearning for Maoshan Sect.

For a moment, he couldn't help but fantasize that he was sitting inside, right next to Uncle Jiu, and everyone was treating him with great respect.

"It's okay for the others, but why does he have a seat when he's so young?"

Coming back to his senses, Mao Shanming glanced at Li Kunshan, curled his lips and muttered a few words.

After all, Li Kunshan is too young.

"Master Uncle is here!"

A moment later, there was a sudden shout from the door.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Jian and Shi Shaojian walked into the charity cemetery.

There were many other thirty-sixth-generation disciples in the courtyard, standing on both sides. When they saw Shi Jian come in, they all bowed and greeted him respectfully.

Shi Jian had a serious expression on his face and walked straight into the hall.

"Wow, who is this guy?"

Seeing Shi Jian so majestic, and after entering, he directly replaced Uncle Jiu to sit in the main seat, Mao Shanming blinked his eyes and looked envious again.

So majestic.

"Who made this happen?!"

After Shi Jian sat down, he immediately began to question the culprit.

Uncle Jiu was in the wrong and could only admit his mistake. Although Qiu Sheng and Wencai were not convinced, they knew how powerful Shi Jian was and did not dare to contradict him.

Seeing Uncle Jiu and the others being humiliated, Shi Shaojian stood behind Shi Jian with a smug sneer on his face. But then he saw Li Kunshan sitting there, his brows furrowed instantly, his eyes filled with resentment.

Next, just like the plot of the movie, it was decided to use the Xiantian Bagua Formation to capture these wandering ghosts, but someone was needed to lure these ghosts out.

The trouble was caused by Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai and others. Even if they were reluctant, they were the only ones who could act as bait.

"Big Brother, there is actually one more thing."

After discussing the matter of catching ghosts, Uncle Jiu spoke again.

"Anything else?"

Shi Jian frowned, his expression stern.

"What kind of trouble have you, master and disciple, gotten yourself into?"

"This incident was not caused by my two bad disciples."

Uncle Jiu was neither humble nor arrogant, and only now did he tell everyone about the Zombie Alliance.

"Zombie Alliance?"

"I think I've heard of it."

"A bunch of evil people who are refining corpses everywhere!"

"Have you ever dealt with them?"

"Humph, if the Corpse Suppression Talisman hadn't been used up, how could I possibly have suffered such a loss!"

For a moment, there was a burst of discussion in the lobby.

Apart from Uncle Jiu and his friends, most of the others have also had encounters with the Zombie Alliance, and some have even suffered considerable losses.

In just two or three years, the Zombie Alliance has surfaced and expanded rapidly, and has become an evil force that cannot be ignored!

"There is such a thing."

After listening to Uncle Jiu's words, Shi Jian's expression became serious.

"If it were anywhere else, it would be fine, but it had to be Renjia Town. How dare these evil people gather here? No matter what their intentions are, we can't just leave them alone! We might as well take the initiative and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

"Big Brother is right. We think so too."

Seeing that Shi Jian shared the same opinion, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yes, although he and Shi Jian had some conflicts, they were both Maoshan disciples and they were in agreement on major issues.

"Then let's discuss how to eradicate the Zombie Alliance."

Shi Jian glanced at Uncle Jiu and turned to the crowd.

Then, everyone expressed their opinions and discussed for more than an hour before finally reaching a decision.

Actually, there is nothing much to discuss. Just find them and kill them!
It's that simple.

If you are not as strong as your opponent, or if you are evenly matched, you need a strategy.

But now most of Maoshan’s core forces are here, so why should they be afraid of a small zombie alliance?

"There's one thing I want to clarify."

After confirming it, Shi Jian spoke up to remind him.

"This time, we must first eliminate the Zombie Alliance, and then capture those wandering ghosts. These wandering ghosts just happened to provide cover for our gathering. If we capture them first and continue to gather together, it will inevitably alert the Zombie Alliance and alert them."

"Big Brother is absolutely right."

Everyone nodded and agreed with this view.

Shi Jian nodded, his face suddenly serious.

"Then the next step is easy. As we agreed, I'll give you four days to find all the Zombie Alliance members nearby! Then we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"I will follow the orders of my senior brother!"

Everyone stood up and accepted the order in unison.

"go!"

The next moment, everyone dispersed with their disciples and began to inquire about the news of the Zombie Alliance.

In an instant, only Uncle Jiu and his disciples were left in the charity cemetery.

"Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, go ask the people in town if there's anyone acting suspiciously around town recently, especially anyone wearing a mask."

Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment and then instructed Qiu Shengwencai to write a sentence.

"Yes."

"I understand, Master."

Qiu Sheng and Wencai nodded and immediately walked out of the charity cemetery.

"Uncle Jiu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Mao Shanming was standing by and asked with a smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist, please help move the table."

Uncle Jiu thought about it and said helplessly.

Mao Shanming is a character in the movie Mr. Vampire, but in this world, the horse bandits in the play did not attack Renjia Town. Mao Shanming came here by accident.

He happened to see Uncle Jiu catching ghosts, and admiring his Taoist skills, he stayed in the charity cemetery and refused to leave.

They are all fellow Taoists, so Uncle Jiu can’t be too harsh in sending him away.

With the help of Mao Shanming, Uncle Jiu set up an altar and performed a ritual to investigate the situation of the Zombie Alliance.

Other Maoshan disciples either went out to investigate, or used Yi-shu calculations, or other magical powers, to try to find out the news of the Zombie Alliance.

Flutter~!

Li Kunshan released thirty puppet sparrows, which explored the surrounding areas with Renjia Town as the center.

Although he was only at the first level of spiritual practice, the number of animals that Li Kunshan could control had increased significantly.

"Have it!"

First, we went to the place where Wei Sui had been before. After a few days, although he was no longer in the original place, he was found only three miles away.

Li Kunshan smiled lightly and continued to control the sparrow to search.
