Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 40 Don't be afraid, I'm a good person

Lu Zhan and Xie Chunyan looked at each other and raised their lips in tacit understanding.

Jiejiejiejie…

"You have a friend?" Lu Zhan smiled brightly: "Tell me more."

Zhou's eldest son looked at Lu Zhan, then at Xie Chunyan, and finally at his old father. He said, "My friend went to worship his mother recently, but found a hole in her grave. The coffin was opened and the body inside was missing. He knew that my family had hired a demon-suppressing master today, so he asked me to ask if this situation was dangerous."

“Don’t be afraid…” Lu Zhan’s tone was gentle, and his smile became even more kind: “Rat, I… Bah! We in the Demon Suppression Division are best at handling this kind of thing.”

After that, Lu Zhan looked at Mr. Zhou and asked, "Where is Meng Haitang buried?"

"Ah?" Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "In... in the northern woods outside the city!"

"Brother Chun, you stay here and protect everyone. I'm going to go to the north woods to take a look. Recently, Jinling has gathered many cultivators. It may not be just because of resentment that Meng Haitang turned into a vengeful spirit." Lu Zhan had a guess in his heart and needed to go over to confirm it.

"Can you go by yourself?" Xie Chunyan also understood that there was movement in the woods north of the city. After all, he was very good at starting sentences with "I have a friend".

However, considering that Lu Zhan is a healing profession, he was a little worried at the moment.

Lu Zhan said: "It's okay, I have my own way."

Mr. Zhou looked confused: "What's going on?"

Lu Zhan pointed at the pale-faced Zhou family elder with his chin and said, "You can ask him."

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Zhou's eldest son. Zhou's eldest son was shocked and frightened. He lay down at Zhou's feet and shouted, "Dad, listen to my explanation! I just don't want you to work too hard. I want to share the burden with you!"

……

The moon and stars are sparse, and everything is silent.

After reaching the realm of Transcendence of Mortals, practitioners can use their true Qi to control the wind and travel. However, such travel will consume a lot of true Qi, which is not the first choice for practitioners in the realm of Transcendence of Mortals. Therefore, normally everyone likes to ride horses.

However, the situation this time was special, and Lu Zhan wore brocade clothes and rode the wind away at night.

Because of the secret realm, all cultivators who had reached the level of Incarnation gathered in Jinling. In addition to the young disciples from various immortal sects and academies, there were naturally evil cultivators as well.

By taking the pulse of the deceased, he could sense that the vengeful spirit was just an ordinary low-level evil spirit.

This kind of low-level evil spirit acts entirely out of obsession, and its main purpose is simple and crude revenge.

People like Zhou Ying had extraordinary medical skills and made great achievements during their lifetime, but after their death they were filled with resentment and happened to encounter the plague in Wancheng. However, not everyone has such an opportunity after their death.

Meng Haitang didn't come today. He initially thought that Meng Haitang had other enemies, or that Meng Haitang had killed his enemies, so there was no need for him to come again, until Zhou Jia Dalang said that.

If Meng Haitang's body was lost, it would mean that there was a high probability that an evil cultivator was involved behind this incident.

The woods are even more eerie at night, with tree shadows swaying and the night wind howling. Occasionally, a few branches fall, startling a group of insects and frogs, and the rustling sounds are extremely strange.

Lu Zhan groped his way to the cemetery deep in the woods. With the dim moonlight, he saw a tomb-robbing hole on a new grave.

The tombstone in front of the new grave was shaky, with the three words "Meng Haitang" written on it.

There were paper ashes and several plates of offerings in front of the tomb, which should have been brought by Zhou Dalang. Lu Zhan took a look inside the tunnel and found that the coffin had been opened and the corpse inside was missing.

"It is indeed an evil cultivator... But what is this evil cultivator doing... Raising corpses..."

Lu Zhan didn’t know much about raising corpses, but he knew that raising corpses and raising ghosts were two different concepts.

Generally speaking, it is more demanding to raise a corpse. One needs to choose a corpse that has a breath of resentment in its throat before death. However, if the resentment is in the throat, it cannot become a vengeful spirit.

In short, after becoming a vengeful spirit, the body is no longer suitable for corpse keeping.

Lu Zhan casually picked up an orange and ate it, sitting on the grave with his mind full of thoughts. It was certain that he would encounter an evil cultivator now. Although the "take advantage of the opportunity" stalk was widely circulated, such warriors were very rare. Only the evil cultivators were so fond of corpses and had professional tomb-robbing techniques.

According to statistics from the Jianghu Monthly Report, 90% of the tomb robbers in the Great Zhou Dynasty are evil cultivators, and ordinary tomb robbers will not steal corpses.

But how do I find that damn thing... There are a lot of evil and crooked treasures, I want them, but I don’t want them to be confiscated.

At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound coming from a distance. Lu Zhan's ears twitched slightly and he closed his eyes and pretended to rest.

Is it that evil cultivator...

Lu Zhan did not sense the presence of his fellow practitioners, but instead sensed a spiritual energy that seemed to be approaching quietly.

After a while.

Lu Zhan's hand suddenly reached out to touch Orange. As the furry touch came over him, a scream came from behind him: "Ah!"

Lu Zhan turned around and their eyes met.

In the dark night, a snow-white little fox was lying behind him.

The little fox lay on the grave, one of its front paws grasping the ground, the other stretched out towards the tribute. Lu Zhan held it tightly, and a human-like shock appeared in its big green eyes: w(Д)w!!

The little fox has an alluring aura but no evil spirit, which means it has never harmed anyone and has already developed intelligence.

Monsters that have developed intelligence rarely eat raw meat and drink blood. Instead, they like to eat nectar fruits, which are very beneficial for their cultivation.

Obviously... this is a little vixen who came to steal the tribute.

Lu Zhan looked at its stomach. It must be very hungry, otherwise it would not have taken such a risk while seeing him here.

“What a coincidence.” Lu Zhan blinked, and the image of a fox-eared girl in a certain illustrated book instantly appeared in his mind.

There have always been many wild monsters. As long as they don't cause trouble, even the immortal sects will not care. Many cultivators even encourage monsters to practice.

You know everything.

Lu Zhan didn't expect to meet a little fox here, but it was obviously not a bad thing.

"Ah!" The little fox's eyes were filled with fear, and his whole body shrank and struggled; he kept crying: "Ah..."

Just when I feel sleepy, I get a pillow... Lu Zhan raised a bright and kind smile: "Well, I'm not a bad person, I don't mean any harm... Can you understand what I'm saying? If you can, just wag your tail."

Under the moonlight, the little fox's tail shook tremblingly.

"Okay, now it's easy to communicate." Lu Zhan smiled brightly: "First of all, I'm not a bad person. Secondly, you have never hurt anyone, so I won't hurt you. But I have a few questions to ask you, please cooperate."

Seeing the little fox's tail wagging, Lu Zhan asked, "Are you male or female? If you are male, shake it. If you are female, draw a circle."

"Hmm..." The little fox hummed twice and drew a circle with its tail with great effort.

Lu Zhan then pulled it over and said, "Okay, this will make it easier for us to communicate... Seeing that you are very skilled in stealing tributes, it should not be your first time. Are you familiar with this area? Have you seen anyone digging graves here recently? If you know, just nod your head."

The little fox blinked, then squeaked and nodded.

"Then do you know where the man went after digging up the body?"

People who do this kind of business certainly wouldn't openly stay at the inn with a corpse on their back. In order to attract attention, they must be not far from here. However, the surrounding mountains and forests are dense, so it is not easy to find them. But if there is someone leading the way, it will be easy.

The little fox said nothing.

Lu Zhan said, "There is a famous roast chicken shop in Jiangning County. The chickens there are fat, tender and juicy. After the matter is completed, I will provide you with chickens for a month."

"(p≧w≦q)!" The little fox's eyes lit up, and he twisted his butt and moved towards the north: "嘤!"

"How naive... But if you meet other men who want to make deals with you like this, don't trust them. They are all bad men with dirty hearts. They will torture you." Lu Zhan said seriously: "But I am different. I am a good man. Lead the way quickly. The roast chicken is waiting for you."

The little fox nodded, picked up an apple, but did not eat it. He just walked ahead with it in his mouth.
