Chapter 2 People are forced into a corner
In a mountain hut, a white-haired man looked gloomily at the several corpses in the room, "Another waste!"

The white-haired man was none other than Zhang Chu. After he condensed the seed of magic power that day, within three to five days, his black hair turned white, his eyes became dark with no whites visible, his skin was extremely pale, and even his pulse was barely detectable, making him look extremely strange.

If he couldn't walk and talk, ordinary people would think he was dead.

Zhang Chu didn't care about the change in his appearance. What made him angry was that he had failed in refining zombies.

It has been two months since he entered the Condensed Law Realm. In order to improve his strength, Zhang Chu went down the mountain to the mass grave after the snow stopped. It took him a lot of effort to dig out more than ten corpses. He brought them back to the mountain and used the corpse refining technique to refine the corpses.

After entering the realm of Condensing Law, refining corpses becomes much easier. One only needs to input some corpse Qi into the corpse, place it in a place where Yin gathers, and wait for 49 days, then the corpse will transform into a zombie on its own.

Because the amount of corpse Qi in their bodies was very small, it took Zhang Chu more than ten days to inject corpse Qi into all the corpses.

What he didn't expect was that he didn't know if his luck had run out or what.

After forty-nine days, among the more than ten corpses, only one had transformed into a zombie, and the rest were useless.

How can he improve his strength without zombies?

As for going into the wild to capture those naturally transformed zombies, Zhang Chu would not do that.

Zombies that can transform naturally are extremely powerful. When Zhang Chu encounters one, he only needs to do one thing, which is to run away quickly. If he runs too late, he will die.

Even if he wanted to go out and capture those naturally transformed zombies, he had to wait until Zhang Chu became strong enough.

After all, Zhang Chu, with his corpse aura, met some cultivators when he went out, and they became the target of his slaying of demons and monsters.

Looking at the ruined corpse in front of him, Zhang Chu was silent. "Is it possible that the impact would be so great without the Yin Gathering Land?"

"The success rate of corpse refining is less than 10%!"

Thinking of the Juyin Land, Zhang Chu's expression became even uglier.

All the Yin-gathering places in the world have long been occupied by those who practice Taoism. How could there be any Yin-gathering places without an owner?
What's more, even if a new Yin gathering place appeared and was discovered by Zhang Chu, he would not be able to defend it.

A Maoshan abandoned disciple, with the aura of a corpse, it won't be long before the ascetics come to kill demons and monsters.

“You’re forcing me!!”

Looking at the dozen or so corpses in front of him, Zhang Chu said to himself, "Looks like I need to go down the mountain!"

Obviously, he had already made up his mind.

In the ice and snow, Zhang Chu was walking quickly, wearing a bamboo hat with a veil hanging from it, a green Taoist robe, and carrying a saddle bag.

Ever since he condensed the magic power seed with corpse qi and reached the state of condensed magic, he has become half human and half corpse, immune to cold and heat.

After walking for more than two hours, Zhang Chu finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

There is still snow on the mountain, but a lot of the snow at the foot of the mountain has melted.

After walking for another half an hour, Zhang Chu arrived at the small town at the foot of the mountain.

Even though the ice and snow had begun to melt, the weather was still cold. There were few pedestrians on the streets and only a few shops were still open.

Zhang Chu, wearing a bamboo hat, had no intention of strolling around. He walked along the wide street towards the town security team and the town office.

Seeing the town hall with its door tightly shut, Zhang Chu walked forward and started clapping without hesitation, "Dangdang! Dangdang!"

"Who is it? Why are you not at home in such a cold weather? Why are you here to call for souls?"

An impatient voice came from the town hall courtyard, "If it's nothing serious, don't blame me for cutting you!"

"Dangdang!"

The door opened, and a man in a black cotton-padded jacket walked out with an angry face. When he saw the newcomer, he changed his expression and said with a smile, "I heard the magpie calling so early in the morning. So it's you, little Taoist priest, who's coming!"

"Come in, please!"

Seeing that Zhang Chu had no intention of talking, the man was not surprised and took Zhang Chu to the courtyard. "The weather is a bit cold, and there is nothing to do. The captain is playing with the brothers. Come with me!"

Before I even reached the door of the room, I heard a noise in the room.

"team leader,"

The man who opened the door walked in with Zhang Chu, "Little Taoist priest is here to see you!"

The captain shook the dice holder in his hand and stood up. "It's so cold, why are you here?"

"Hurry up and warm yourself by the fire. I want to play with my brothers for a while!"

Looking at Zhang Chu standing there, not moving or speaking, the captain put down the dice tube and said helplessly, "No more playing, no more playing, all of you get out!"

The security captain was not surprised by Zhang Chu's attitude. When they first met, Zhang Chu was like this, cold and without any nonsense.

However, the security captain, who was used to seeing flattery, felt that Zhang Chu was a pretty good person. Otherwise, in a world full of zombies and ghosts, he would not dare to treat a Taoist priest with real skills in such an attitude.

Even if this Taoist priest is very young, it is still the same.

When the security team members heard this, they didn't dare to say anything and hurried out.

They are all people who know the inside story.

When the town was haunted, the security team was almost wiped out. It was thanks to a young Taoist priest who traveled here that he saved the day with a talisman, but he gave all the credit to the captain.

After that, the young Taoist priest settled down in the mountains.

Could something big have happened that made the young Taoist priest suddenly come to the town hall in the snow and ice?
"Master,"

The security captain closed the door. He also knew what was important and looked at Zhang Chu with a serious expression. "It's been a year or two since you came up the mountain. This is the first time you've come to see me. Is there something wrong?"

"I want a gun and thirty rounds of bullets!"

Zhang Chu pointed at the box gun on the security captain's waist, and a hoarse voice rang out.

"gun!"

The security captain was immediately startled and shook his head like a rattle, "These things are limited in number, I can't give them to you!"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Chu put his hand into the sack and slammed two small yellow croakers directly onto the table.

After all, the original body was Shi Jian's registered disciple. When Shi Jian had a decisive battle with Uncle Jiu, he had already made up his mind to die, so he dismissed many of his disciples and gave them a lot of severance pay.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chu can still live so freely after his martial arts skills were abolished.

Seeing the two small yellow croakers, the security captain's eyes showed a greedy look, but he still didn't let go, "Master, this is really not possible!"

Zhang Chu didn't say anything, but just put his hand on the two gold bars, activated the magic power in his body, and squeezed them hard. Five finger prints were imprinted on the gold bars.

Seeing this scene, the security captain smiled awkwardly.

He only knew that the young Taoist priest in front of him was good at dealing with ghosts, but he didn't expect that he was so strong.

That's gold. Leave your handprint on it. The finger strength must be terrifying!
"Ha ha!"

The captain smiled awkwardly, "It's just a gun, easy!"

He opened the drawer and took out a box of bullets. He then took off the gun with the holster and pushed it to Zhang Chu, "Just use it!"

"I'm going on a long trip soon!"

Zhang Chu directly slung the gun across his body and put the bullets into the bag he was carrying. After thinking for a while, he took out six talismans, divided them into three stacks and placed them on the table. "These talismans are used to kill ghosts, suppress corpses, and drive away evil spirits!"

"I'll leave it to you. If you encounter any unusual situation, it can save your life!"

"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"

After hearing this, the security captain's eyes immediately left the gold and looked at the talisman in front of him with great enthusiasm, cherishing it extremely.

In this world where zombies are rampant and ghosts are lurking, this thing can save your life.

Gold is good, but you have to have a life to spend it!

This is also the reason why he is willing to make friends with Zhang Chu.

"Farewell!"

After finishing the work, Zhang Chu left immediately.

"team leader,"

The security team saw Zhang Chu walk out, and immediately ran to the captain's room, asking anxiously, "Is there something the Taoist priest wants to do?"

"fine!"

The captain had just packed up the talismans when he saw the team members rushing in and said unhappily.

Ignoring the noise behind him, he walked out of the town hall door with a determined look in his eyes.

He unexpectedly appeared near a lush forest. A ray of dazzling sunlight fell on him, driving away the coldness in his body.

In the blink of an eye, the world has changed.

This is indeed the case. When people are pushed into a corner, they can do anything, including traveling through time!!!
