Chapter 76: Encountering zombies on the road, eating melons

In addition to King Xian, there is also Yue Qiluo's mortal enemy Wuxin, who is even more peculiar than Yue Qiluo.

I just wonder where he's been hanging around lately?
After all, Lingmingzi's disciple Chuchenzi is still a little kid with snot bubbles all over his nose.

Every day when he was in class, Ding Hai almost couldn't help laughing when he saw the big snot bubble.

After having a general idea in mind, Ding Hai put Yue Qiluo back into the talisman bag.

Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he saw that the little Taotie might really be useful. It seemed that the storage magic weapon would be gone from him.

But he didn't say much. He just walked forward and tapped the little Taotie dozens of times, putting a restriction on it to prevent it from suddenly attacking and hurting people.

He and Ding Hai are strong enough to treat the little Taotie as a plaything, but this is not the case for others.

If it gets angry, it can swallow Qingyun Temple in one gulp.

The little Taotie knew his current situation and knew that if he complained too much he would be skinned and have his tendons pulled out.

He could only helplessly accept the restrictions Zhang Zhiwei placed on him.

Qingyun Temple in autumn is like a flowing and beautiful painting, colorful and peaceful.

The golden fallen leaves swaying gently in the autumn wind contrast with the red walls and green tiles of the ancient temple, forming a harmonious picture.

On this day, the sun shone through sparse clouds onto the bluestone floor of Qingyun Temple. The Taoists in the temple were busy with their work, some were sweeping fallen leaves, some were sorting scriptures, and some were meditating and practicing. Everything seemed in order.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the quiet atmosphere.

A young Taoist priest came panting across the courtyard to the temple master Ling Mingzi and said anxiously, "Master, this is bad. Master Ding's room is empty, and Taoist Zhang from the Tianshi Mansion is missing!"

Ling Mingzi, who had made an appointment with Ding Hai in March earlier, was well prepared for this.

The three-month deadline has arrived, and the disciples in the temple who are qualified to practice have also laid the foundation for practice. Ding Hai has fulfilled their original agreement.

But Ling Mingzi didn't expect Ding Hai to choose to leave without saying goodbye.

He had told the river god at the beginning that as long as he found someone to help Qingyun Temple survive this disaster, he would be rewarded handsomely.

Lingmingzi not only said this, but also did it.

Although Huo Yuanjia and Qin Ye did not provide much help on this trip, Ling Mingzi still gave each of them two royal seals when they left.

Lingmingzi did not give any money to the River God, but he gave Qingyun Temple's bulk purchases to the River God.

The amount of rice, flour, grain and oil consumed every day by a Taoist temple with a population of about a hundred is not a small amount, not to mention the gradually growing business of medicinal materials.

With the support of the Canal Merchants Guild, the River God does not need to do the business himself. He only needs to join the caravan under the Canal Merchants Guild and he can get a steady supply of money and food every month.

Ling Mingzi prepared heavy gifts for the three deputy guests who didn't contribute much as promised. How could he forget to subdue Yue Qiluo's main force?

He prepared ten small yellow croakers for Zhang Zhiwei, his talented disciple. Not only did they cover the money Zhang Zhiwei had spent on building the stone pavilion in the back mountain, but they also provided Zhang Zhiwei with enough money for his journey south to return to his clan.

For Ding Hai, the person who contributed the most, Lingmingzi prepared fifty large yellow croakers for him, which almost emptied half of Qingyun Temple's treasury.

I didn't expect that I would have such a valuable gift stuck in my hands and unable to give it away.

"Before Fellow Daoist Ding left, he told me not to panic and just practice with peace of mind." Ling Mingzi looked at the disciples in the courtyard who were all a little dazed after hearing that Ding Kai had left, and couldn't help but tell a white lie.

People are all made of flesh and blood, and Ding Hai did not hide anything when teaching the disciples of Qingyun Temple.

Moreover, the habits inherited from later generations made him prefer to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, rather than setting a progress schedule and then beating or scolding them if they did not meet the standard.

On the contrary, most of the time he is more encouraging and less critical.

Therefore, many disciples of Qingyun Temple think that Ding Hai is a good teacher and a helpful friend.

Their way of addressing him also changed from "Master Ding" at the beginning to the more intimate "Master Ding".

This is also one of the reasons why Ding Hai, who had already left Qingyun Temple, left without saying goodbye.

The person looks too familiar to me, so I feel embarrassed to cut off half of Qingyun Temple’s treasury with one knife.

Before he went south to Fujian, there was no doubt that he would put himself first.

But after his trip to Fujian, fifty large yellow croakers were no longer enough to buy him the treasures he needed.

These disciples of Qingyun Temple had just started their journey and were in great need of money, so they kept calling "Master Ding" every day.

Those fifty large yellow croakers could be considered as gifts from their late-life master.

According to Ding Hai's idea, after leaving Qingyun Temple, he planned to drag Zhang Zhiwei all the way to southern Yunnan.

With his extreme speed, he could reach Zhalong Mountain that night at the latest.

Even so, there is still time left for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

But Zhang Zhiwei refused to agree. According to him, life is not just about spiritual practice. Doing so would miss out on the scenery along the way.

But Ding Hai didn't quite believe his nonsense. When they left Tianjin, they had both decided to rush back to their respective sects as quickly as possible.

A normal person would have been anxious after being delayed in Qingyun Temple for such a long time. He suspected that Zhang Zhiwei was dizzy from the space.

After three months of getting along, Ding Hai also figured out the level of Zhang Zhiwei's talent.

He is stronger than Ding, but not as strong as Zhuge Wuhou and Zhang Laita. If Ding Kai activates his Sky-Viewing Pupil at full power every day at all costs, he may not be worse than him.

The reason why he was shocked before was purely because he happened to run into the area that Zhang Zhiwei was best at.

If you leave the field that Zhang Zhiwei is best at, you will find that he is also a human being and there are many things he cannot handle.

Take the talisman bag for example. After seeing that Zhang Zhiwei wanted to store magical tools, Ding Hai did not keep anything to himself and taught him all he knew about the method and principles of making the talisman bag.

But Zhang Zhiwei thought over and over and just couldn't come up with a talisman bag that would stabilize the space. In the end, Ding Hai gave him a talisman bag and the matter was settled.

He also has the ability to move. Over short distances, he is very fast, not much slower than Ding Hai, but this is purely due to his outrageous golden light spell and his gradually transformed powerful body.

Once it comes to long-distance raids, he immediately becomes at a loss.

Ding Kai had taught him this magical power of being so close yet so far away, but he still could not understand that the earth itself was rotating so fast.

As long as you can find a way to get rid of the attraction of gravity, the earth will make you move even if you don't move.

Also, Ding Hai has talked to him many times.

On Earth, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

But once the distance is enlarged to thousands or even tens of thousands of miles, the curved surface is actually shorter than the straight line.

But these theories sounded like fantasy to Zhang Zhiwei.

Therefore, even if Ding Hai broke down the magical power of "So Close, So Far Away", Zhang Zhiwei just couldn't digest it.

According to Xiao Taotie privately, Zhang Zhiwei once secretly practiced "A World Away" according to his own understanding.

His original goal was the hill to the east of Qingyun Temple where he was found, but he ended up running into a ravine to the north of Qingyun Temple.

If he wasn't strong enough, he would have almost buried himself in the ground and couldn't get out.

So, after discussing for a long time, the two happily decided to let the little Taotie play a role and carry them south. As for whether it would scare people along the way, Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei could not care less.

After receiving the notice and knowing that he had been changed from a pet to a mount, the little Taotie resisted.

The Taotie clan will never be enslaved.

After he got a bump on his head that night, the above paragraph added another sentence: Unless the human race provides food and accommodation.

When the little Taotie was let loose, its body was as big as a small hill.

In order not to disturb others, Zhang Zhiwei simply made it appear as big as an elephant.

The back was as big as an elephant's, big enough for him and Ding Hai to sit cross-legged on it and meditate.

Then, a monster the size of an elephant, with a human face and a sheep's body, began to cross mountains and rivers all the way south, cursing.

Most of the time, the little Taotie walks along the mountain.

Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei, these two bastards, don't care about other people's eyes, but Taotie does.

If its identity and race were recognized by someone who knows its stuff, it would have no face to stay in the spiritual world.

Occasionally, when there are no more mountains to climb, the little Taotie will take heavy steps and quickly pass through crowded areas.

On its back, Ding Crab would occasionally open his eyes to observe the gradually changing scenery around him.

But Ding Hai, who had not yet reached the state of seeing the universe as one's own body, was just purely looking at the scenery without any special insights.

Zhang Zhiwei was similar, except that he would occasionally feed the little Taotie some medicinal herbs to replenish its consumed energy.

Although the little Taotie cursed in his mouth, he was not polite when it came to eating the medicinal herbs.

The medicinal power that continuously flowed into its body made it feel as if it had returned to youth.

On this day, the two men and the beast arrived outside a prosperous town. Ding Hai and his companion, who were exhausted after traveling for several days, knew that the little Taotie was very concerned about his reputation, so they did not deliberately make things difficult for it.

When they were still dozens of miles away from the town, they got up and left the back of the little Taotie.

After leaving the little Taotie who was unwilling to change its size frequently in a tall forest outside the town, Ding Hai and his companion strode into the town.

The town is bustling with people coming and going.

But the lively direction makes people frown?

All the people in the town gathered in front of the rice shop and the coffin shop?
What the hell is this?
With nothing to do and no hurry to travel, Zhang Zhiwei curiously approached the villagers to ask.

Knowing that Zhang Zhiwei liked to join in the fun, Ding Hai ignored him and went into a restaurant to buy food.

Both of them were disciples of the Zhengyi Sect. Apart from beef, dog meat, blackfish and wild geese, there were not many other things they avoided. So it didn't take long for Ding Hai to buy the food he would need for the next few days from the restaurant.

As for the little Taotie, given its general shape and its race, Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei had never thought of feeding it normal human food.

Otherwise, the food stored in this town may not be enough for it to have one meal.

It can feed it some medicinal herbs from time to time only because the two of them are on its back.

Little Taotie also knows how much he can eat.

If you're really hungry, just climb onto a hilltop, open your mouth wide and take a deep breath.

It eats mountain spirits, wild beasts, flowers, plants and trees.

Not long after Ding Hai left the restaurant, he ran into Zhang Zhiwei, who was full of excitement. Seeing his mouth almost stretched to his ears, Ding Hai knew that he had eaten too much.

"Friend Ding, it turns out that there is a family in this town who is haunted by zombies. The reason why the villagers in this town have gathered in front of the rice store and the coffin store is to buy glutinous rice and coffin flour." Zhang Zhiwei, who was very eager to share, immediately told Ding Kai what he had heard.

"Wait, glutinous rice can restrain zombies, and coffin powder can cure corpse poison. I can understand why the villagers rushed to buy these two things.

There's nothing wrong with going to a rice shop, but what the hell is going to a coffin shop?" Ding Hai keenly discovered the point.

Coffin powder can cure corpse poison because the coffin is exposed to evil energy every day.

Some of the wood that has not lost its activity has passively developed the ability to absorb evil and resentful energy.

Only when this kind of coffin powder is applied to people injured by zombies can the corpse poison be completely absorbed out of the injured person.

To put it bluntly, new coffin powder is sawdust. If you really expect sawdust to absorb the corpse poison, you might as well make some wood powder at home. Wouldn't that be more cost-effective?

Zhang Zhiwei immediately realized that something was wrong after being reminded by Ding Hai. He immediately turned to the door of the coffin shop and told the villagers that the new coffin powder could not cure the corpse poison.

Seeing this, Ding Hai quickly reached out and grabbed Zhang Zhiwei.

It's obvious that someone is playing tricks here. If you rush over to expose them, you might end up getting scapegoated by accident.

"If you really want to take care of this, just find time to get rid of the zombies at night. Why bother with all this intrigue?" Ding Hai did not treat Zhang Zhiwei the same way he treated Lin Jiu, telling him not to meddle in other people's business.

Because Zhang Zhiwei could handle all the troubles he caused by himself, but if he really offended the local bullies, they would also hold a grudge against the Dragon and Tiger Twins of the Tianshi Mansion.

"You make sense." Although he is a little impulsive, Zhang Zhiwei is not the kind of person who won't listen to advice.

He then suppressed his temper and left the town with Ding Hai.

After casually clearing out a piece of open space in the tall woods outside the town with the wind from his palm, Ding Hai started a fire to heat up the food he had bought.

By the time the two finished their meal, it was almost dark.

After a quick tidying up, Zhang Zhiwei headed towards the town with his sleeves swinging.

It was just a zombie, he could easily capture it with all his might.

After watching Zhang Zhiwei go away, Ding Hai then lay on the little Taotie's back and took a rest.

Both Ding Hai and Xiao Taotie had full confidence in Zhang Zhiwei and were not worried about him.

After all, for Zhang Zhiwei, dealing with zombies is just a piece of cake.

The tall woods are quiet and lonely under the night sky, and the moonlight shines through the dense treetops, sprinkling patches of light on the ground.

The autumn wind rustled through the leaves, as if ghosts were whispering, adding a bit of mystery to this tall forest.

Under the moonlight, the sound of horse hooves suddenly penetrated deep into the tall woods.

The sounds of people shouting and horses neighing startled Ding Hai and Xiao Taotie who were resting.

Ding Hai didn't care. Gao Shulin was in the wilderness and it was normal for others to make noise without knowing that someone was resting there.

Little Taotie was a little irritable. He was in a bad mood when he woke up. The reason why he didn't show it on weekdays was that if he dared to show his teeth to Zhang Zhiwei and the others, he would be beaten up the next day.

If Ding Hai wasn't there, he would definitely teach the guy who disturbed his sleep a lesson.

Seeing that the group of riders outside the tall trees were about to pass by the open space under his feet, Ding Hai turned over and got off the back of the little Taotie: "May I ask who are the heroes outside the forest?"
