Chapter 105 Coming in droves
In the mass grave, the smell of corpses and death is everywhere, giving off a terrifying and eerie feeling.
A day passed. After Zhang Chu returned from the Liancheng world, he went directly to the mass grave and began to absorb the new corpse qi and death qi in the mass grave.
With the continuous absorption, the corpse qi and death qi in the mass grave are also disappearing rapidly.
"Ow~"
Faintly, Zhang Chu seemed to hear a howl full of evil coming from the mass grave.
When he listened carefully again, he could no longer hear anything.
Even so, Zhang Chu's expression was extremely solemn.
He knew very well in his heart that he did not suffer from auditory hallucinations, and the howling that he had just faintly heard must have been real.
Before, he couldn't hear the howling from below, but tonight he heard it.
It can only mean one thing, that the terrifying existence under the mass grave is not far from escaping, otherwise, the howling sound would never have been able to get through the heavy seals.
After putting away the Corpse King Banner, Zhang Chu did not stay here for long and walked directly towards the charity cemetery.
This matter must be reported to Taoist Qianhe as soon as possible. If Taoist Qianhe cannot solve it, he will have no choice but to run away.
Not long after, Zhang Chu arrived at the charity cemetery. Looking at the extinguished candlelight, he had no intention of disturbing Qianhe and went straight back to his room.
Although the matter is urgent, it is not something that can be delayed. Hasn't the existence under the mass grave yet come out?
Besides, Taoist Qianhe was injured and was resting, so Zhang Chu didn't want to disturb him.
Sitting cross-legged in the room, Zhang Chu directly began to refine the Corpse King Banner in his hand, strengthening the Corpse King Banner's control over the fourteen refined corpses.
After finishing the purification of the Corpse King Banner, Zhang Chu continued to practice the Shenzhaojing.
Even though daily practice could not increase the internal strength much, under the pressure of corpse qi, the internal strength formed by the Shenzhaojing became more and more refined.
Time passed little by little as Zhang Chu practiced until dawn.
In fact, since he acquired magical powers, Zhang Chu has basically replaced sleep with meditation.
He had discovered that after meditating all night and honing his magic power, he still felt refreshed at dawn, as if he had entered a deep sleep.
As soon as Zhang Chu opened the door and walked out, he saw Taoist Qianhe practicing boxing in the courtyard.
He was quite knowledgeable and could naturally see that even if Taoist Qianhe had lost all his magical powers, he was still very powerful with just his boxing skills.
"Changsheng, you're back!"
Taoist Qianhe had of course noticed Zhang Chu a long time ago, but he did not stop practicing his boxing skills. He waited until he finished a set of boxing skills before calling it a day and saying hello to Zhang Chu.
"senior,"
Zhang Chu nodded, but said, "Junior has something important to discuss with you!"
"Is it important?"
Qianhe looked at Zhang Chu in confusion. What else could be the important matter?
Could it be that Zhang Chu discovered something else when he went out?
How could Qianhe, a Taoist who lives next door to Zhang Chu, not know that Zhang Chu goes out late every night?
However, seeing that Zhang Chu had not done anything that would enrage God or people, he didn't want to care.
Everyone has their own little secrets, especially Zhang Chu who has been expelled from Maoshan. Even if he wants to control it, he has no reason to do so!
They walked into the room and sat opposite each other.
"senior,"
After Zhang Chu sat down, he said to Qian He, "I was absorbing the dead energy in the mass grave last night, and I seemed to hear a howl."
After hearing this, Taoist Qianhe's expression became serious, but he did not interrupt Zhang Chu.
"But when I listened carefully, the howling sound disappeared, and I couldn't hear anything!"
At this point, Zhang Chu frowned, "Senior, do you think the seal below is badly damaged, which is why the sound is coming out?"
"possible!"
After Taoist Qianhe thought about it carefully, a few gleams flashed in his eyes. He agreed with Zhang Chu's opinion and said, "Let's go and take a look first!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the mass grave with his four disciples and Zhang Chu.
The sun was high in the sky, and the eerie atmosphere in the mass grave seemed to be less severe.
Standing at the edge of the mass grave, Taoist Qianhe silently felt the situation below the mass grave.
Having learned the lesson from last time, Qianhe did not let his perception extend too far downwards. He had finally healed his injuries, but if he continued to go deeper, he would be injured by the corpse qi and death qi below.
After about a cup of tea, Taoist Qianhe opened his tightly closed eyes and said, "Go back first!"
On the way back, Taoist Qianhe had a gloomy look on his face, as if he had sensed something bad.
"Longevity, east, south, west, north,"
Sitting in the room, Taoist Qianhe said to Zhang Chu and the other five people with a serious expression, "Be careful in the next period of time."
Having said this, he looked at Zhang Chu deeply and said, "If you can avoid going to the mass grave, then don't go there!"
“From my point of view, the seal below is seriously damaged. Even if the zombies below cannot break the seal and come out, it can still confuse some people!”
"Yes, senior!"
Zhang Chu immediately nodded and agreed.
He knew very well in his heart that Taoist Qianhe was mainly warning himself.
Taoist Qianhe's four disciples were basically meditating and practicing in the charity cemetery. Only Zhang Chu went to the mass grave to absorb the corpse qi and death energy.
However, the warning was of no use. With the Yue Shi Mirror in his hand, how could he easily give up on the corpse qi and death qi that appeared every day?
When several people were talking in the room, there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice, "Is Junior Brother here?"
"Brother Simu is here!"
Hearing the voice, Taoist Qianhe immediately stood up and walked outside.
"Hello, Senior Brother. Hello, Master Ikkiu!"
When I opened the door, I saw Taoist Master Simu and his disciple Jiale, as well as the great monk Ikkyu and his disciple Jingjing standing there.
"Greetings, Master Ikkyu!"
Before Taoist Simu and Master Ikkyu could say anything, Taoist Chizuru's four disciples also spoke.
"I've met two seniors!"
Finally, Zhang Chu stood up.
"Junior brother (uncle master, fellow Taoist),"
The four people who were originally very happy immediately turned cold when they saw Zhang Chu behind Taoist Qianhe.
Even though they had only met once, both Master Simu and Master Ikkyu did not have a very good impression of Zhang Chu.
They really didn't expect that Qianhe was involved with Zhang Chu.
"Brother, Master Ikkyu,"
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become dull, Taoist Qianhe spoke up, "Come in and sit down!"
"it is good!"
Taoist Simu spoke, and Master Ikkyu followed him in.
"Junior brother,"
After arriving at the room, several people sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries before Simu spoke, "You sent a message to summon your fellow disciples. What's going on?"
"I received your message, but I rushed here in less than half a month."
"Thank you, Senior Brother,"
Speaking of the main topic, Taoist Qianhe's expression also became solemn, "This matter has to start from Changsheng asking me for help."
He immediately explained the matter in detail, emphasizing the dangers of mass graves.
"You mean, there is an extremely powerful zombie sealed under the mass grave, and now the seal may be broken. I want to seek help from my fellow disciples to see if the seal can be reinforced?"
"Exactly!"
"Let's talk about this after our senior brother comes. He is the only one among us who is best at formations!"
"it is good!"
Taoist Qianhe naturally understood who Simu was talking about, and even Zhang Chu was quite clear about it.
"Two seniors,"
Seeing that the serious business had been discussed, Zhang Chu stood up and asked, "Do you plan to live in the charity cemetery or in town?"
"The conditions in the charity cemetery are still relatively simple!" "Just live in the charity cemetery!"
Taoist Simu said with a smile, "I am a corpse chaser, and I have lived in many places!"
"it is good!"
After hearing what Taoist Simu said, Zhang Chu nodded and said, "Then I will go and prepare!"
After saying that, Zhang Chu walked out of the room and headed towards Xintengfei Town.
Four more people came, and there will surely be more people coming next. He didn't want to serve others, so now it was Ren Tianxing's turn to contribute.
The four eyes in the room looked at Zhang Chu coming out, and then they set their sights on Qian He, "Junior brother, I think this person is not a good person!"
"Don't get too involved with him!"
"Junior brother knows!"
Taoist Qianhe just smiled bitterly and didn't say much.
Shi Jian's spirit tablet is enshrined in the charity cemetery. Even if he doesn't say it, it will probably be discovered by everyone in sight in no time.
When he thought about it, Simu knew why he did this.
The two brothers and Master Ikkyu were exchanging their experiences in cultivation, but Jiale and Jingjing, who were standing nearby, could no longer sit still and started walking around in the charity cemetery.
After looking at the rooms in the charity cemetery, they soon chose a place to live.
When they pushed open the door of the room that looked like a ancestral hall, they saw the tablet placed there: "The tablet of our late master Shi Jian."
Looking at the memorial tablet in front of her with plenty of incense, Jingjing didn't react at all. However, Jiale, who was standing next to her, looked at the name on the memorial tablet in front of her and felt it sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
So, he just stood there in a daze.
"Jia Le,"
Jingjing looked at Jiale who was standing there in a daze, "What's so interesting about a ranking?"
"Let's go out for a walk first!"
"The name of the spirit tablet just looks familiar to me."
Jiale said after scratching his head.
"What do you mean?"
As the two were talking, Taoist Master Simu ended his conversation with his junior fellow apprentice and walked out. When he heard Jiale's voice, he walked over.
"The name of the spirit tablet!"
Jiale saw his master and hurriedly spoke.
"name?"
Taoist Simu had already walked to the front of the spirit tablet and he had seen the name on it.
He was stunned, his expression becoming even more uncertain.
"Master,"
Jiale looked at the Taoist priest Simu who was standing there in a daze, and asked in confusion, "Do you know him?"
Taoist Simu said nothing, but turned around and walked towards Taoist Qianhe.
"You already knew?"
"When we were transporting the royal zombies, we rested here for a night and saw it then!"
The four looked in silence.
Simu didn't know what to say about the feud between his senior brother Shi Jian and senior brother Feng Jiao.
"Then why did you invite him?"
"Greeds are grudges!"
Taoist Qianhe said sternly, "But the matter of slaying demons and eliminating evil cannot be delayed!"
"Okay, I get it!"
Simu sighed and said nothing more.
Master Ikkyu, who was standing by, was watching the two people playing guessing games and felt a little anxious. What were they talking about?
"Master,"
At this time, Jingjing came over with Jiale, "Jiale and I are going out for a walk!"
"You go (no)!"
Two completely different voices were heard. They were the voices of Taoist Chizuru and Master Ikkyu.
It was Taoist Qianhe who disagreed.
"Fellow Daoist (Junior Brother), what do you mean by this?"
Ikkyu and Simu both looked at Taoist Chizuru with puzzled eyes.
"Brother, Master Ikkyu!"
Looking at the two people's puzzled eyes, "Just follow me and take a look, and you will understand!"
After saying this, Taoist Qianhe walked out directly and headed towards the mass grave.
"It's nothing!"
Looking at the mass grave filled with the faint scent of death, Master Ikkyu looked at Taoist Chizuru in confusion.
"Brother, Master Ikkyu, feel the ground below the mass grave carefully!"
Listening to Taoist Qianhe's careful words, although the two were confused, they remained calm and perceived it silently.
Soon, the two of them looked serious, "We really can't go out casually!"
Both of them felt the horror beneath the mass grave, with the smell of corpses and death everywhere, but for some reason, it did not appear outside.
Just the smell of corpses and death was enough to make them feel terrified.
"Go back first!"
After feeling the situation below the mass grave, they finally realized that what Taoist Qianhe said was true.
Walking on the road, both Taoist Simu and Master Ikkyu looked a little worried.
Just as they arrived at the gate of the charity cemetery and were about to go in to discuss something, another Taoist priest came over with two young men.
"Si Mu, you are here too?"
The Taoist first greeted Simu, "Hello, Master Ikkyu!"
"I've met senior brother!"
Simu and Qianhe bowed to the newcomer at the same time.
"I've met my uncle!"
"I've met two master uncles!"
Just saying hello took some time.
"Senior brother,"
Taoist Qianhe said to the Taoist priest who came, "Come in first!"
As they walked down the road, Qian He explained the matter, and frowned when she heard that there was no one coming.
"Take me there first!"
Without even entering the room, the Taoist priest spoke to Simu and Qianhe.
So, Simu and Qianhe, who had just returned, immediately went to the mass grave again with the Taoist priest they had just met.
At this time, Zhang Chu had already arrived at the Ren family in Xintengfei Town.
However, looking at the scene in front of the Ren family, Zhang Chu frowned.
