Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 98 Uncle Zombie
Guided by the townspeople, Li Xuan arrived at the entrance of a mortuary in a secluded spot in the southwest.

The townspeople told him that Lin Jiu had come here decades ago, staying for a year or two each time before leaving. It seemed he also had residences elsewhere. They called this way of traveling around "training" and "wandering"...

Li Xuan looked at the mortuary before him, which covered a considerable area, comparable to some small mansions. He stepped forward, pulled the door knocker, knocked a few times, and called out loudly, "Excuse me, is Fellow Daoist Lin Jiu at home?"

bang bang bang!
No response...

Ok?
He scratched his head. Lin Jiu went out, Qiu Sheng ran the rouge shop, and Wen Cai guarded the mortuary. There should be some capable people.

bang bang bang!
The door suddenly creaked open a crack on its own.

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then called out, "Fellow Daoist Lin, have I trespassed?"

The atmosphere at the mortuary was strange; it clearly had the feel of someone who had lived there, but it lacked the atmosphere of a living person.

He pushed open the door and went inside. What came into view were rows of open coffins. In the corner, several coffins were closed and emitted a faint stench. There was also a wooden bed nearby.

Continuing into the inner room, there was a separate room. The bed was in disarray, and there were many things scattered on the floor, as if Lin Jiu and his two disciples had encountered something and left in a hurry.

Li Xuan sat on the bed, lost in thought.

The plot of this movie is nothing more than Old Master Ren turning into a zombie, with Ah Wei causing trouble along the way, and the female ghost Xiao Yu bewitching Qiu Sheng.

Lin Jiu was not like the kind of easily startled Taoist priest from Maoshan.

That's really strange.

Just then, the sound of bells came from outside the mortuary, and someone shouted at the top of their lungs, "Senior brother, I have a few distinguished guests who would like to stay here for the night."

The door creaked open, and several loud thuds echoed from the ground.

Li Xuan went out and saw a thin Taoist priest in his early forties wearing a Taoist robe, a Taoist hat, and wooden-framed glasses. He treated the priest like family, picked up an apple from the ground, wiped it on his clothes a few times, and started eating it.

When the bespectacled Taoist saw Li Xuan, he was taken aback for a moment. He quickly put the apple aside, performed a Taoist greeting, looked towards the inner room, and said, "Honorable guest, I am humbled! I wonder if my senior brother Lin Jiu is home? I have a few distinguished guests who need to stay the night."

Li Xuan returned the courtesy and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities. I am also a member of the Xuanmen sect, named Li Che. I just happened to come to visit Fellow Daoist Lin. However, I don't know why the mortuary is in a bit of a mess, and Fellow Daoist Lin and his two disciples are nowhere to be found..."

The bespectacled Taoist priest was somewhat surprised. The young man named Li Che in front of him was so old, yet he didn't look like a proper Taoist priest.

But it doesn't matter.

In this chaotic era, Taoist priests and Buddhist monks can perform rituals and "beg for food" everywhere. As a result, many people, even without any spiritual practice, ordination, or registration, put on Taoist or Buddhist robes and call themselves monks or nuns.

It's so common...

He didn't press Li Xuan about which school or sect he belonged to, intending to save face and leave him a way out.

The martial arts world is about human relationships and social interactions, not just fighting and killing.

Hearing Li Xuan's words, he became curious and walked into the inner room, saying as he went, "This humble Taoist is called Four Eyes. My fellow practitioners call me Four Eyes Taoist, but you can just call me Four Eyes..."

Li Xuan followed behind and said with a smile, "In that case, I will address Fellow Daoist Four Eyes as such."

The Four-Eyed Taoist walked back and forth, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and stroked his chin, saying, "He took away all the important Taoist scriptures and magical artifacts, as well as the sealed little ghosts, but left behind ordinary daily necessities."

In my memory, even if my senior brother moved, he wouldn't be so wasteful. He would always bring things like blankets. It seems he encountered something terrible here and ran away beforehand." Li Xuan recalled the scene of meeting Lin Jiu on the mountain yesterday.

Although Lin Jiu jumped out to block his attack when he was about to kill Ren Tingting, Li Xuan didn't blame him. It was just because he had seen many movies and had a good impression of Lin Jiu. He wasn't afraid of demons and monsters, although he would be mischievous at times...

When a Taoist priest makes a mistake, the judges of Fengdu should intervene.

But if one is upright and honest, why fear his identity?

Li Xuan thought Lin Jiu was a Taoist priest with some guts; his sudden departure must mean something important. After all, his arrival in this world and his premature killing of Awei, Ren Weiyong, and Ren Tingting had caused quite a ripple effect…

He sighed softly, "Alas, it was such a fleeting meeting, I didn't get to brew tea and chat with Fellow Daoist Lin. What a pity."

Seeing his slight regret, Si Mu chuckled and said, "No need for that. We Maoshan brothers keep a book that lists our living locations and rotation times. I just need to go home, open the book, and I'll know where you've moved to, even if it's not the next place, it'll be the place after that..."

Li Xuan was pleasantly surprised: "Then I..."

With a wave of his hand, Si Mu exclaimed with boundless pride, "Hey... the Xuanmen are one family. No matter which sect or school we belong to, we are as close as brothers. Just come back with me, and I'll show you where your senior brother is! He really loves discussing the Dao. If he knew that there was someone like you who insisted on meeting him, I think he would be so moved that he would almost cry."

Li Xuan found the Four-Eyed Taoist's appearance quite interesting; he was a fascinating person.

Both set in the Republic of China era and being fellow disciples, it seems that the plot of "Mr. Vampire" is linked to "Uncle Vampire". If you go home with Master Four Eyes, you can also see Master Ikkyu and Master Chizuru, who only plays in the peak competition.

He sighed inwardly. When he watched the movie before, he thought that Master Qianhe was really fierce and tough. He did not back down when facing royal zombies. He fought hard even in the face of great adversity. Even after losing and being seriously injured and poisoned by the zombie, he chose to commit suicide with a peach wood sword in order not to harm others.

We should go check it out!

The black notebook didn't urge him on; he simply wanted to enjoy his trip through the Republican era.

The next second, a black notebook appeared, its pages flipping, revealing a line of text: [Contact key figures to unlock side quests. Please assist the Four-Eyed Taoist in resolving the royal zombie crisis.]

Li Xuan: “…”

It's just a few tasks.

Four-Eyed Taoist and Li Xuan stayed at the mortuary for two days before setting off on the third day.

The two men were nocturnal, hiding during the day and venturing out at night, simply because their four eyes and the group of corpses were too conspicuous; ordinary people still have an innate fear of corpses...

Deep in the mountains and forests.

Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, the Four-Eyed Taoist sighed and said, "Your age is about the same as my apprentice Jiale, but you are much braver! My apprentice can't do anything except stay at home to cook and chop wood, and occasionally meditate and practice his skills. Alas, it's a question whether I'll ever see him graduate in this lifetime."

Li Xuan laughed and said, "Teaching a disciple is the same as teaching a son; you can't just spoil him..."

Four-Eyed Taoist replied, "Spoiled? I'm not like my senior brother who picks things up high and puts them down lightly. See that tree trunk over there as big as a bowl? I use that thing to gamble! Haha, you don't believe me? My senior brother and I are from the same sect. I look thin, but I'm naturally strong, and I've specifically trained my body. Ordinary two or three strong men can't get close to me. If I could invite the patriarch to descend upon me, I could punch through a wall!"

Snap! His straw sandal pierced a splinter, sticking out the sole of his foot.

The Four-Eyed Taoist felt inexplicably uneasy. He pulled out the wooden splinter, forced a smile, and said, "Strange, it seems that mentioning the Ancestral Master today gives me a bad feeling. Let's not talk about this..."
