Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

The next day

The sky is high and clear, with no clouds in sight. The sun shines softly on the earth, and a gentle breeze blows on your face. It is indeed a great day for a trip!

"Brother, Master Ikkyu, we bid farewell now! I look forward to meeting you again someday!" Taoist Qianhe smiled and bowed to Taoist Simu and Master Ikkyu, who were standing nearby. He was followed closely by two young disciples, their expressions respectful and a little reluctant.

"Yinyin, Jiale, goodbye! Remember to come and play with your uncle when you have time!" Taoist Qianhe waved to Ren Yinyin and Jiale cordially.

"Master, please take care and be careful on your journey!" Ren Yinyin and Jiale hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Junior brother, the journey is long, so you must take good care of yourself!" Taoist Simu's eyes were full of concern, and he stared at Taoist Qianhe and said.

This incident was truly thrilling. The ferocious royal zombies were ultimately eliminated, leaving not even a trace of their bodies. Furthermore, the officers and soldiers involved in the encirclement and suppression operation also suffered heavy casualties. Even Minister Wu was transformed into a zombie and killed, as was the young prince...

If my junior brother were to go to the capital to report to the court now, I’m afraid he wouldn’t end up well!

"Don't worry, senior brother! I have a plan in mind." Taoist Qianhe nodded slightly at Taoist Simu, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

In fact, he had already made up his mind not to return to the capital, because he knew very well that this trip was extremely dangerous.

The remaining officers and soldiers obviously had the same idea, and everyone understood it tacitly - once they arrived at the next destination, they would go their separate ways and pursue their own future.

If they foolishly ran to the capital to report, they, a group of weak little people, would undoubtedly become scapegoats used by the powerful to quell the anger caused by the deaths of the frontier royal family and the young prince!

After watching Taoist Qianhe's figure disappear at the end of the road, everyone slowly turned around and returned to their residence.

……

"Yinyin, look at the little zombie lying in this small coffin. It's really not convenient to leave it here. In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to take it back to the charity cemetery and let my senior brother deal with it?" Taoist Simu frowned, staring at the small coffin in the corner of the morgue, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

The person lying in that small coffin was the little prince from before!

Who could have expected that after being scratched, the little prince would suddenly turn into a zombie without any warning even after using glutinous rice to remove the corpse poison?

This is really unbelievable and puzzling!

Luckily, the little zombie was very small and was subdued before it could even bite anyone!

"Don't hurt him!" Jingjing rushed forward, opening her arms without hesitation to tightly protect the coffin. Her eyes were filled with earnestness and pleading as she looked straight at Taoist Simu. "Master, you don't know that the young prince still has his consciousness and recognizes us!"

Master Ikkyu, who was standing by, lowered his head and softly chanted the Buddha's name: "Namo Amitabha!"

Then he raised his head and earnestly advised Taoist Simu, "Fellow Taoist Simu, as the saying goes, Heaven is merciful. This young prince has never killed anyone from the beginning to the end!"

"That's right, Master!" Jiale, who was standing nearby, quickly echoed, "Look how well-behaved and sensible this little prince is!"

The reason why Jiale joined in the discussion was not entirely because he felt sorry for the little zombie, but more because he wanted to please Jingjing.

After listening to the three of them arguing with each other, Taoist Simu became so angry that he stamped his feet, put his hands on his waist, and shouted, "Hey, hey! What are you all thinking about? When did I ever say I would kill this little guy? Do you think I, Taoist Simu, am really that cold-blooded and ruthless?"

However, the conditions where he was staying were very simple and it wasn't an ideal place to take in a little zombie! Moreover, his senior brother Lin Jiu was very interested in various corpse-raising techniques and had studied them in depth.

In this case, it would be most appropriate to send this little zombie to Senior Brother Lin Jiu and let him try it out himself.

"Uncle-master, can we really do this? Can we take it back and give it to Master?" Ren Yinyin looked a little hesitant.

She knew very well that the first of the Maoshan precepts was: "Good and evil face off, a lifelong struggle!"

If you openly raise zombies, you might violate the rules of the sect.

However, Taoist Simu comforted him, "Don't worry. Our sect also raised zombies in the past, but we gave up later for various reasons." Having said this, Taoist Simu suddenly stopped talking, as if he was thinking of something that was inconvenient to say.

Now is the time when the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is suddenly decreasing, and we have entered the Dharma Ending Age.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to find a spiritual zombie.

Furthermore, raising zombies not only requires a lot of energy and effort, but also requires the Taoist priest to have sufficient patience, profound skills and ample time, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed.

"In a few days, I'll be setting off to drive the corpses, and I'll happen to pass through Renjia Town on the way. Then, we can take this little zombie with us!"

As soon as Taoist Simu finished speaking, Jingjing, who was standing beside him, understood what was going on - it turned out that Taoist Simu had no intention of harming the little zombie, he just wanted to find a suitable person to raise it.

Thus, Jingjing's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Zombies all want to suck blood. The little zombies refused to drink the blood of the chickens and ducks raised by Jiale. They cried because of hunger and looked very pitiful.

It was only then that Taoist Simu cast a talisman to freeze the little zombie and put him in a coffin that he calmed down.

So even though Jingjing was reluctant, she knew that she couldn't take care of the little zombie at all, so she had to send him away!

……

Renjia Town

义庄

"Master, I'm back!"

When Ren Yinyin saw the Taoist drinking tea in the hall, he hurried over and said happily.

"You still remember to come back?" Uncle Jiu glared at her angrily.

As soon as he left, the girl ran out to play. She is so lawless!

"I went to help my uncle!" Ren Yinyin stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly.

"Do you believe what you said?" Uncle Jiu laughed out of anger.

Before he left, he repeatedly instructed his three disciples to guard the charity cemetery well and not to cause trouble.

The results of it?

Qiu Sheng simply helped his aunt run the store in Renjia Town and went on blind dates. If he came back later, Qiu Sheng might have gotten married!

The young apprentice Ren Yinyin ran away, leaving behind Wencai to barely support the charity cemetery.

"Senior Brother!" Taoist Simu led the zombies in and shouted.

"By the way, Master, Uncle Simu and I have prepared a surprise for you this time!" Ren Yinyin saw that he couldn't appease his master, so he quickly pointed at a small figure at the end of the zombies and said.

"What?" Wencai was curious.

He was almost bored to death in the charity cemetery alone. His master had left, Qiu Sheng was too lazy to come to the charity cemetery, and his junior sister had gone out to play.

It’s such a big charity cemetery, but there’s not even anyone to talk to. He’s so suffocated!

"It's a little zombie!" Ren Yinyin ran over and held the little zombie in front of his master.

Taoist Simu followed behind and peeled off the talisman paper of the little zombie.

"Brother, look!"

The little zombie's eyes immediately moved around quickly. When he saw the two strangers in front of him, he was a little scared and quickly hid behind Ren Yinyin.
