Chapter 37 Testing
"Corpse-suppressing bell!"

Just by listening to the sound, Zhang Chu could be sure that zombies were being escorted, and they were extremely powerful zombies that needed the corpse-suppressing bell.

Generally speaking, if you are driving corpses, you can control dozens of zombies using the corpse-driving bell and the corpse-suppressing talisman.

Since the Corpse-Suppressing Bell can be used, things may not be that simple.

Especially late at night, you might not necessarily encounter anything.

Therefore, in addition to the peach wood sword in his hand, he also loaded the pistol that he had prepared long ago.

Outside the gate, there was a horse-drawn carriage. Just from the wheel tracks at the back, one could tell that the coffin on the carriage was extremely heavy. A man dressed as a Taoist priest walked up and knocked on the gate.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

"I wonder which fellow Taoist's dojo this is?"

"A Maoshan disciple is carrying a corpse here. Please stay for one night!"

"Please help me, fellow Taoists!"

A cold light flashed in Zhang Chu's eyes when he was standing behind the door. He was actually someone from Maoshan?

He is an abandoned disciple of Maoshan. If he meets those Maoshan Taoists who are worried and resentful of their master, he might be in danger of losing his life!
For a moment, Zhang Chu was caught in a dilemma.

He knew very well that as long as he stayed in this world, he would meet the Maoshan Taoist priest sooner or later.

Whether it is for the subsequent exercises or for other reasons, it is impossible not to meet each other.

But he didn't expect it to be so early.

Just when Zhang Chu was about to open the door, "Bang!"

The gate of the charity cemetery was knocked to the ground, and several people with braids and shaved heads walked in.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Chu was also stunned when he saw the people in front of him, and raised the gun in his hand, "Are you going to be a bad guest?"

"What evil guest?"

A duck voice rang out, "This is the territory of our Qing Dynasty!"

"It is your blessing that the little prince can be here!"

“So they are a group of people from the previous dynasty!”

There was a hint of disgust in Zhang Chu's eyes, "He died early in the morning!"

"Take him!"

The duck-voiced man was immediately furious when he heard the irritating sound, and spoke to the armored guards around him.

"Shh!"

The steel knife came out and rushed directly towards Zhang Chu.

"Manager! Fellow Daoist!"

Behind the man with the duck voice were several Taoists. After hearing the man's order to arrest people, they immediately became anxious.

If this gets out, where will Maoshan's reputation be?

Help others bully Taoists?
"stop!"

Then, the Taoist priest who seemed to be in charge at the back shouted loudly.

However, how could those guards obey the Taoist's orders? They rushed towards Zhang Chu regardless.

The knife light became even colder under the cold moonlight.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

How could Zhang Chu just take a beating without fighting back? What's more, they were a group of people who had lost their country in the previous dynasty!

What qualifications do they have to act so presumptuously in front of Zhang Chu?

Fire flashed, and three bullets hit the guard who was rushing in the front directly, killing him on the spot.

As for the remaining guard who was rushing forward, he stopped immediately, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

He is also afraid of death!
The man with the hoarse voice behind him had already hidden himself in fear. This rioter actually had a musket in his hand!

"Fellow,"

The Taoist priest in charge saw that Zhang Chu had no intention of continuing to shoot, so he stood up and said, "This is all a misunderstanding!"

"I and the others are just here to ask for a place to stay!"

"Butler Wu thought there was no one there, so he opened the door!"

"Heh!" Zhang Chu sneered and had no intention of defending himself.

The charity cemetery has just been built and everything is new, how could there be no one here?

However, these people in front of him were all Maoshan Taoists, and Zhang Chu was not sure he could take them all down at once, so he stopped shooting.

Looking at the people in front of him, Zhang Chu secretly swears in his heart: It's not like the Taoist doesn't have money? Wait, wait for a while, I have to go to the Magic City, get a heavy machine gun, buy thousands of bullets, and set it up in front of the door!
After all, the truth is within the range of cannons!

With a heavy machine gun, even if a Taoist priest from Maoshan comes, he will have to think twice!
Hearing Zhang Chu's sneer, the Taoist priest in charge felt extremely embarrassed. He knew in his heart that he had offended the Taoist friend in front of him.

Fortunately, the fellow Taoist in front of me still had a firearm in his hand, otherwise, I don’t know what kind of trouble would have happened.

Thinking of this, he gave a fierce look to Chief Butler Wu who looked nonchalant.

But what can he do?

Chief Wu is the employer!

"forget it!"

Zhang Chu looked at the embarrassed Taoist priest and after thinking for a while, he said, "Come in!"

"There's only one room for you to rest in!"

Then, he said to the duck voice, "As for you, just rest in the courtyard!"

After saying that, Zhang Chu turned around and went back to his room.

"Rampage!"

Watching Zhang Chu turn around and leave, Chief Steward Wu was filled with anger, "If it were in the past, I would have killed all nine generations of your clan!"

After that, he turned to the person in the sedan chair and said, "Young Prince, come down and rest first!"

"Chief Steward Wu, you and the young prince should go to that room and rest!"

The Taoist priest in charge looked at the room, then looked at the child-like prince, and said, "We will wait in the courtyard to watch over the old prince's body!"

"Ok!"

Chief Steward Wu raised his head and snorted with satisfaction, as if to say, you guys are smart, and then he said to the young prince in front of him respectfully, "Young prince, I will serve you to bed!"

As for those guards, Chief Steward Wu simply ignored them, as if they didn't exist.

And how could the leaders of the guards be willing to rest in the yard when seeing so many rooms?
So he told his men to look in the surrounding rooms.

As for the opinion of the Taoist priest in charge, it was completely ignored.

He couldn't control those guards.

One house after another was opened and people walked out quickly.

Several guards looked grim, "Boss, the room is full of corpses!"

"What bad luck!"

The head of the guards cursed and looked towards the room where the candle had been burning. "Did you check that room?"

"Nope!"

"Don't go and see!"

"You can't go to that room!"

The Taoist priest in charge could no longer bear it.

He smelled the scent of incense from the candlelit room. With his knowledge, he was sure that something was being worshipped there.

If you rush in rashly, it would be disrespectful to the owner of this place!
But how could he control these guards who were used to doing lawless things?

You can’t hit me, and you can’t scold me!

"What qualifications do you have to give orders?"

The Taoist's face suddenly darkened at the guard leader's words, and so did his disciples!
But what can they do?
Nowadays, the Qing Dynasty still has some power, otherwise how could they invite him?
The Taoist took a deep breath and was about to say something.

A guard had already opened the door. Two white candles and a lonely memorial tablet were placed there.

The Taoist priest who was trying to stop them saw the words on the tablet and froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Zhang Chu stood at the window of the house, watching silently.

He wanted to see what the Maoshan Taoist priest in front of him would do!
Shi Jian's spirit tablet was placed there. If the Taoist priest in charge still couldn't stop the Qing court guards who wanted to go in and rest, Zhang Chu would run away immediately.

For a Maoshan disciple who doesn't even care about Shi Jian's spiritual status, why wouldn't Zhang Chu run away?
This is also the reason why Zhang Chu allowed these people to stay overnight after the conflict.
