Chapter 31: Reincarnation of Shou Gui
After the magic sword is opened, it has a strong inhibitory effect on demons and monsters.

With a swing of the sword, the evil spirit defense on the surface of the black zombie was instantly broken, directly injuring its body.

Although the zombie had no sense of pain, it still instinctively leaped backwards, intending to distance itself from Lin Jiu.

The evil energy accumulated in the black zombie's body is not endless. Every time it repairs its injuries, the evil energy in its body will be consumed.

When the evil energy in its body is exhausted, it becomes no different from an ordinary corpse.

Seeing that the black zombie was about to escape, Lin Jiu stretched out his left hand and wiped the magic sword. Using the blood essence from his fingertips as a guide, he urged the magic power in his body to draw a talisman out of thin air: "General, here, command. True Lord Sanmao, follow the order."

The blood-guided talisman instantly turned into a golden light and flew towards the black zombie's head.

In an instant, the golden light collided with the black zombie, causing a strong energy fluctuation that froze the black zombie in place.

Upon seeing this, Ding Hai had a new understanding of Lin Jiu's attainments in the art of talismans.

If he hadn't installed a cheat for himself, he would not be as good as Lin Jiu in the art of talismans.

But it was not enough to control a black zombie with just a hastily drawn imperial edict to order the general to come here.

As expected, just as Ding Hai's thought came to an end, the black zombie that was fixed in place broke free from the restraints of the Imperial Order General to Come Here Talisman and resumed its ferocious posture.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If the general with the imperial decree could hold on for one more second, he could step forward and chop off the head of the black zombie in front of him. Unfortunately, the world would not stop turning because of his will.

"Junior Brother Lin, since there is no chance to chop it off with a sword and kick it like a ball, why not try another approach?

Try to find the place in its body where the Earthly Evil Qi is stored." Ding Hai, who was good at dealing with Yin Corpses, couldn't bear to see Lin Jiu suffer a setback, so he kindly reminded him.

After hearing Ding Hai's reminder, Lin Jiu couldn't help but rolled his eyes in response to Ding Hai.

He is not stupid, so how could he not know that by finding the black zombie's weakness, he could win in the simplest way.

When they first started fighting, he stabbed the black zombie in the heart with a sword.

As a result, I found the wrong place.

If the zombies' weaknesses were really easy to find, there wouldn't be so many warlocks killed by zombies every year.

"I have tried this before, but the black zombie's weak point is not its heart. So, instead of looking for weaknesses in other parts of its body, it is better to attack its head directly."

Although the situation was somewhat stalemate, Lin Jiu, who was proud of himself, did not ask Ding Hai for help.

This black zombie is certainly tricky to deal with, but seeing that Lin Jiu can occasionally find time to talk to Ding Hai, it is clear that it is actually no match for Lin Jiu.

The reason why Lin Jiu failed to win quickly was that the demon-subduing methods he mastered were not as effective as thunder magic in restraining demons and monsters.

"You can try to break its throat and let out its last breath. Although it is not as good as directly breaking through the nodes of the evil energy in its body, it can also weaken its ferocity." When the first plan failed, the experienced Ding Hai came up with a new strategy.

"If I can cut its throat, why don't I just cut off its head?" Lin Jiu retorted to Ding Hai unceremoniously.

Do you think everyone is like you, possessing martial arts skills that are almost as good as a master?

Lin Jiu’s boxing skills are not weak, and his swordsmanship is also quite good, but facing the thick-skinned and swift black zombie, his boxing skills and swordsmanship can hardly provide him with much help.

He couldn't do what the peerless swordsman in the vernacular novels did, with a sword as sharp as a dragon, easily chopping off the black zombie's head and kicking it like a ball.

Ding Hai, who was criticized, smiled awkwardly.

You're wrong. Lin Jiu is not him, so it is indeed difficult to replicate the method he just mentioned.

Strok- ing his chin awkwardly, he quietly opened the third eye between his eyebrows and looked towards the black zombie in front of him.

After one glance, the black zombie in front of him no longer had any secrets in his eyes.

Dante Crab did not smile, but pursed his lips and said solemnly: "Junior brother, the situation has changed. I need to take down this black zombie as soon as possible."

After hearing what Ding Hai said, although Lin Jiu was extremely confused, he still made way for Ding Hai in the fight.

Seeing this, Ding Hai took a step forward, displaying his light body kung fu, as if shrinking the distance into an inch, and instantly appeared beside the black zombie, pointing a finger between its lungs.

Tiny arcs of electricity flashed.

The black zombie, which had been roaring and barking three times more frightening than a tiger, instantly wilted like a cat.

Even though the arc of electricity that Ding Kai created when he used his palm thunder to hit the black zombie's body was very small, it was enough to easily break the black zombie's evil energy nodes and disperse all the evil energy in its body.

Without the support of the evil spirit, the previously strong black zombie now lay on the ground like a pool of rotten meat.

In this state, let alone a Taoist priest like Lin Jiu, even an ordinary person could easily cut off its head and kill it completely.

"Brother, what's going on?" Previously, because of the trust between the two, Lin Jiu surrendered the battlefield without asking. But now that the battle is over, he naturally wants to find out why Ding Kai changed his mind.

"This black zombie is most likely not the one we are looking for." Ding Hai told Lin Jiu the reason why he suddenly intervened.

"How is that possible?" Lin Jiu's first reaction when he heard the news was that Ding Hai might have made a mistake.

The black zombie is not a cabbage, how could it have two ends popping out at once?

"The evil spirit on this black zombie doesn't have any human blood in it, which means it has never bitten anyone to death."

"It has never bitten anyone to death, so who bit those people who died yesterday? They couldn't have bitten themselves, right?" Lin Jiu still didn't believe Ding Hai's speculation. "Junior brother, take a closer look at the clothes on the black zombie in front of you." Ding Hai didn't argue with Lin Jiu, but directly pointed out the abnormalities he observed.

"Clothes?" Lin Jiu followed Ding Hai's instructions and carefully observed the clothes left on the zombie on the ground.

"The clothes on this black zombie have at least been worn for hundreds of years, and the shroud on the black zombie we are looking for must have been formed within a year."

Zombies are such strange creatures that, even if they have developed intelligence, they don't care whether they are wearing clothes or not. This is also evidenced by the fact that the evil energy in their bodies has not been contaminated by human blood.

The black zombie in front of them was definitely not the one they were looking for. Thinking of this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but sigh for the people living near Ma Xiangping.

What kind of sin must one have committed to encounter two black zombies in a row.

After sighing, Lin Jiu took out a Yang Fire Talisman from the bag on his back and threw it at the black zombie on the ground.

As soon as the two came into contact, sparks flew like thunder and lightning.

Ok?
The above sentence seems a bit strange.

Forget it, no matter so much.

In an instant, the black zombie on the ground was wrapped up by the Big Sun True Fire activated by the Yang Fire Talisman.

The originally dark stalactite cave suddenly became bright.

Although they found the wrong zombie, neither Ding Hai nor Lin Jiu would leave the black zombie in front of them alone.

Turning into ashes and returning to heaven and earth is its only ending.

After a while, the raging fire in the stalactite cave gradually died down, leaving only a small handful of white ashes.

If the ashes left after the cremation of the black zombie were seen by some evil heretics, they would probably be so angry that their eyes would glow green. This is a perfect medium for performing evil magic and is in high demand on the black market.

But neither Ding Hai nor Lin Jiu even looked at it.

Lin Jiu was a little confused: "Brother, what should we do next?"

"Keep looking." Ding Hai didn't have any good ideas. He didn't expect that his paper crane-finding technique, which had never failed before, would fail.

“This cave is full of caves, each with its own forked path. Without guidance, finding the black zombie here would be as easy as looking for a needle in a haystack.

Senior Brother, why don’t you use the paper crane search technique again? I think your paper crane search technique should be correct.”

“Is there a possibility that the black zombie we killed is somehow related to the one we are looking for?

So, Brother, your paper crane search technique found the wrong zombie?" Lin Jiu really thought so.

He saw how mysterious Ding Hai's improved paper crane search technique was.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems.

Unless there is some unknown connection between these two black zombies.

After listening to Lin Jiu's analysis, Ding Hai also figured out something.

All previous signs indicated that the black zombie that bit Shadow Warrior and others to death must have appeared near the abandoned stone pagoda.

In other words, on the ground, the two of them were not in the wrong position.

Then, the problem should be underground. The Paper Crane Searching Technique did detect the breath of the black zombie in the underground cave.

At the beginning, they were indeed tracking the black zombie that had bitten the shadow warrior and others to death.

Unless, the paper crane searching technique was misled by external forces during the tracking process.

But Ding Hai and Lin Jiu were following Lan Fu Paper Crane at that time, and it was impossible for anyone to play tricks under their noses.

After thinking about it, Ding Hai remembered a strange and bizarre incident that his own master had encountered when he was young.

A zombie that has not yet become a flying zombie, but has already developed great intelligence.

That zombie was originally a means of protection created by a small lineage in Runan.

In order to prevent the zombies from counterattacking, the zombie that was being sacrificed was not fed with blood.

Instead, he kept taking the zombie to wander around places like cemeteries and mass graves, letting it feed on evil spirits and drink moonlight.

Although the zombies trained in this way are not as ferocious as wild zombies, they are extremely easy to use and there is no need to worry about them turning against their masters.

The inheritance of a small Dharma lineage is limited, and the Transcendent Realm is the pinnacle of this Dharma lineage.

Although the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Transcendent Stage have allowed cultivators to gradually transform into non-humans, they do not increase a person's lifespan. How long one can live depends entirely on one's natural lifespan.

Only after reaching the Yin Shen realm and communicating with heaven and earth can a cultivator's lifespan be extended to three hundred years.

Therefore, when the master of a certain generation of that small lineage was about to die, he had the idea of ​​using the zombies that guarded his own lineage.

He pieced together some ideas and developed a set of techniques for reincarnation by taking over another's body. He stuffed his own soul into the sea of ​​consciousness of the guardian zombie and successfully possessed an immortal body.

　The first chapter is here today. Please vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, and follow-up reading. I asked the editor today, and the follow-up reading may not meet the requirements. I will have to run naked again next week. If the smart push given by the platform after 100,000 words can't pull the data, Lao Xiong's book will basically be a failure. I have no idea what will happen then.
