Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

As night fell, the sky gradually became shrouded in darkness, but fortunately, the moon was bright tonight, and its light shone on the earth, barely illuminating the road ahead.

After dinner, everyone packed their luggage and continued their journey in the carriage.

Although driving at night is not very safe, they were still able to see their surroundings clearly thanks to the bright moonlight.

The carriage bumped along the way until late at night before finally stopping to rest.

Everyone sat together and discussed the arrangements for the night watch.

"Master, then Uncle-Master probably won't be coming, right?" A-Dong asked his master.

"He'll definitely come!"

"Master, the four of us will take turns on duty tonight, so you can rest well. I'll let you know when it's time!"

At this moment, Abei spoke up.

They were clearly serious about doing hard labor and had no complaints.

They were also orphans. If they hadn't been adopted by Chizuru and taken in to cultivate, they might have starved to death.

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Chizuru nodded.

"It's not hard work," the four people from the east, west, south, and north said in unison.

........................

Subsequently.

It was finally decided that four people from the east, west, south, and north would take turns on duty, while the others would take the opportunity to rest.

Meanwhile, Wu Zhenren, hiding in the shadows, was extremely unwilling, thinking to himself, "What are you guarding for?"

Throughout the night, Wu Zhenren, who had been hiding under the carriage, was inwardly groaning in despair.

He initially thought they were just joking about being on duty, but who knew they were really on duty? They were so dedicated!

He had been hiding here since daytime, waiting for everyone to fall asleep.

However, he never expected that Zhong Fabai would be so cautious. He not only arranged for his disciples to take turns on guard duty, but also specifically instructed everyone to remain vigilant.

"Damn, I don't know what kind of luck Zhong Fabai has that he can get such an obedient disciple!" Master Wu cursed inwardly.

But he was still very envious.

Faced with this situation, Master Wu knew he couldn't wait any longer.

He secretly resolved that when the night was deep and quiet, he would first knock out the disciples on duty, and then look for an opportunity to attack Qianhe and the others.

So he quietly waited for the right opportunity to arrive the following night.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the clouds and awoke the sleeping people.

Chizuru rubbed her sleepy eyes, checked her surroundings, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found nothing amiss.

After a simple meal of dry rations, the group resumed their journey.

This time, they arrived in a desolate wilderness, surrounded by rolling mountains and dense forests, which made them feel particularly eerie and terrifying.

......................

Night fell once more.

"Master, this journey has been so eerie and terrifying, could there be ghosts?"

Ah Dong asked with a smile.

He was driving the carriage, and his master was sitting beside him.

Nan and Xi were watching the coffin from behind, while Bei was driving another carriage alone.

"Ghosts? What kind of ghost would dare to show up at night? With your master, Zhong Fabai, here, all the ghosts within a twenty-mile radius would have already migrated!"

Qianhe grinned and uttered another of Zhong Fabai's wise sayings.

A-Dong was shocked after hearing this.

“Master, you are the one.” He gave a thumbs up.

In the shadows, Master Wu mimicked Xing Daorong's expression, inwardly shouting, "What a load of bull!"

However, the moon was very full at that time.

Looking at the moon in the sky, Chizuru squinted.

"This is..." Chizuru pinched her hand, then exclaimed in shock.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"This is the yin year, yin month, and yin day of this year, but it's not yin hour yet! If the moonlight shines on a corpse, it will turn into a zombie. And those zombies love tonight's moon the most, absorbing the essence of the moonlight to become stronger!"

Chizuru looked at the moon overhead, her face filled with awe.

He was truly shocked.

From the perspective of the Maoshan Taoist arts he inherited.

Every year, on a yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin hour, zombies can absorb a large amount of moonlight essence, thus becoming stronger. If this continues, they will eventually become the ultimate zombie!

This is a real zombie world!

....................

"Oh, so that means those Taoist priests who drive corpses probably won't be out tonight, right?" A-Dong thought for a moment and said.

“That’s right, they would never come out to transport corpses. Once the corpses are exposed to moonlight, they will also turn into zombies and become extremely ferocious.” Chizuru nodded in agreement.

Indeed, under such circumstances, the Taoist priests who transport corpses would naturally not dare to easily come out and transport corpses.

At this moment, Chizuru gazed into the distance, seemingly pondering something.

However, Wu Zhenren, who was hiding in the shadows, was unusually excited.

Because this was simply a golden opportunity bestowed upon him by God.

He not only planned to make the corpses drink the Taoist's blood, but also to make them drink the Five Poisons Liquid and fully absorb the essence of moonlight, making them extremely ferocious and directly transforming them into armored corpses!

After all, these were all carefully crafted by him.

Despite the time constraints, with the help of tonight's moonlight essence, everything will become easy.

"Haha, so we're kind of different now," A-Dong said with a laugh.

After all, they were transporting corpses tonight.

Chizuru didn't laugh; instead, she was thinking about where to stay: "How much longer until we reach the next town?"

According to the map, it will take another three hours to get there!

"Okay, let's not rest tonight, let's go straight to the next town and find a place to stay!"

Chizuru calculated the time and said.

This time, Ren Cai was transported back to Renjia Town unscathed.

He didn't know how "unharmed" was defined, but he wanted to avoid trouble.

.......................

"Yes, Master!" Ah Dong replied, then skillfully started the carriage, cracked the whip, and with the sound of hooves, the carriage slowly moved forward.

However, when they were halfway there, someone suddenly rushed out of the bushes by the roadside, shouting, "Help! Help!"

The sudden cry for help made all five of them look into the distance.

From the depths of the jungle, a man was running desperately towards them, with another figure closely following behind him.

With the help of the bright moonlight, the group could clearly see that the pursuer was actually a woman.

"Hey, what's going on in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know, let me check first."

The two men, one from the north and one from the south, stared at each other, utterly puzzled.

"Heh, it's you again, kid. Looks like you won't know what cruelty is until I cripple you! You're always up to petty theft. Wasn't the last lesson enough? Now you dare to go into tombs. You're really asking for trouble!"

Chizuru sneered, her gaze fixed on the man and the corpse running towards them.

That man is Wangcai, the same one Zhong Fabai met a couple of days ago when he first transmigrated into Qianhe.

The woman behind her was dead. It was only because it happened to be an unlucky day, month, and year, and there was a thunderstorm, that a man named Wangcai dug up her grave and kissed her on the lips, which created a special connection between them.
