Splendid peasant girl busy farming

small world.

Luo Fengtang continued walking down the mountain path.

He walked very cautiously, holding a long, glass-colored sword in his hand.

This weapon was obtained from the Weapon Mountain. He took it because the other three weapons, including the one used by Dao Ye, were beyond his control.

At the foot of the mountain, he could see the village roads.

The roads were very well constructed, all paved with bluestone slabs, which was quite different from the primitive dirt roads found in many villages.

But Luo Fengtang still sensed something strange from the outside.

That is, the village ahead showed no signs of human life.

Popularity is something invisible and intangible, yet it seems to exist in a very real way.

Just like a house that hasn't been lived in for a long time, appearing gloomy and dilapidated, this village also gives people that feeling.

Standing at the entrance of the village, one can vaguely see a wooden ancestral hall on the side of a flat square.

These ancestral halls typically house the ancestral tablets of past generations. In many villages, most residents share the same surname, meaning their ancestors were essentially the same.

Villagers usually hold weddings and funerals in the ancestral hall, which is also one of the few lively places in the village.

Luo Fengtang saw that the wooden pillars of the ancestral hall and the wooden plaques on them were covered with dense yellow paper, some of which had dark red ink marks on them.

"This village has been attacked by evil spirits. It looks bad," Dao Ye exclaimed.

"Evil spirits?" Luo Fengtang stopped outside the village entrance, not entering the village immediately. To be on the safe side, he wanted to observe for a while longer.

"Let me investigate for you; those evil spirits can't harm me in the slightest." Before Luo Fengtang could speak, Dao Ye transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the village.

Luo Fengtang wasn't worried about anything going wrong... Dao Ye's true form was an indestructible divine-level treasured sword, and even if it had been downgraded, this little situation still wouldn't be a problem for him.

He suddenly realized that the reason why the swords and spears were so eager to choose him was because their days were numbered and they had no choice but to choose him.

With that in mind, he decided to ask Master Dao directly later.

As for the sword and spear inside the Qiankun Ring, they seem to have been dormant and cannot be communicated with.

After a while, the streak of light in the village circled around and quickly landed in front of him.

Dao Ye twisted his blade and said, "This is incredible. There are coffins everywhere in this village, big and small, at least a hundred of them."

Before Luo Fengtang could react, Dao Ye spoke again.

"I left in a hurry and forgot to tell you about the evil spirits."

"There is something wrong with this place. The yin energy is very heavy. All things may become monsters with little intelligence due to the excessive yin energy. The locals call them evil spirits. Zombies are one of the evil spirits. They are evil spirits that people's corpses may evolve into after they die."

"This village, sigh, everyone's dead. I bet they'll all turn into zombies."

"Who made the coffins for them? And who put them in the coffins?" Luo Fengtang had many questions that he could not answer.

“Perhaps he’s a wandering Taoist priest. I know this world well; I’ve been here more than once,” said Master Dao.

"That's been so many years, maybe the world has changed by now!"

Luo Fengtang frowned.

"Nothing has changed. I've taken a walk around this village, and everything we eat, use, and wear is pretty much the same as before. This world is still the same world."

"That's what Master Dao said with certainty."

"What should I do next?" Luo Fengtang asked.

"It's simple, just rush in and wipe out all the zombies." Knife Master danced in the air.

Luo Fengtang took a deep breath and felt that what Dao Ye had done earlier was somewhat futile. He thought there was some clever method, but in the end, he still had to force it.

Before entering the village, Luo Fengtang voiced his question: "Where are the zombies' weaknesses?"

"...You decide for yourself. I don't remember. I can't remember many things."

When Dao Ye said this, he clearly hesitated. He seemed to be thinking about something, but in the end, he couldn't remember anything.

"Ok."

Luo Fengtang stepped forward. The road leading into the village was fairly wide, which made it easier for donkey carts and oxcarts to enter smoothly.

Children should have been running around and playing in this area, but the place is now desolate and gloomy. The walls are covered with moss and ivy, and weeds grow in the cracks between the stones on the ground, indicating that it has been abandoned for a long time.

Dao Ye said that it might be a wandering Taoist priest collecting the corpse at this time, and there is obviously some truth to that.

Luo Fengtang walked a short distance and saw the first coffin.

Judging from the material, the coffin was a thin one, simply pieced together from a few pieces of wood, and the lid was placed very carelessly.

The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and as dusk approached, the whole scene seemed somewhat eerie.

But Luo Fengtang was naturally not afraid at all. He strode to the coffin, and before he got close, he heard a sizzling sound coming from inside.

That's clearly the sound of fingernails scratching wood.

"Crack!"

The coffin lid was flipped open, and a disheveled person suddenly sat up inside.

Perhaps they can no longer be called human.

The creature's tattered clothes were half-rotten, but its body was dark and lifeless. Its face was dehydrated and shriveled, and its two eyeballs were sunken, gleaming with a ghostly green light.

Its nails are long and jet black.

At this moment, he turned his head and was facing Luo Fengtang.

"It only came back to life after it sensed your presence."

"That's what Dao Ye said from the side."

It looks like he's not going to help.

Therefore, Luo Fengtang had no choice but to take the knife and go himself.

He drew his sword and thrust forward, his blood surging through his body. The sword light, like a white ribbon, slashed towards the monster.

The monster had already leaped into the air, its movements incredibly swift, and it managed to dodge the attack.

Although it was merely a tentative strike from Luo Fengtang, it was still a blade of light that only a top-tier martial arts master could unleash.

Luo Fengtang was truly surprised to have dodged that blow.

"These zombies are so fast, an ordinary person would be doomed if they encountered one. No wonder the whole village died," Luo Fengtang couldn't help but sigh.

"I vaguely remember that ordinary zombies aren't this powerful. The zombies here seem to have advanced to a higher level; their aura..."

"That's right, this place is probably an extremely yin place, bad for the living, but extremely nourishing for corpses. These zombies have been nourished for at least ten years."

"You mean this place has been abandoned for ten years?"

"It's more than ten years, but I don't know the exact number. You'll have to go to a nearby town with living people to find out."

Luo Fengtang had no time to investigate; he was still thinking about how to deal with the zombies.

He struck again, this time with several times the speed, and it was no longer a probing attack.

"Clang..."

The zombie raised its arm and used its fingernails to block the blade's gleam; these fingernails were comparable to divine weapons.

Luo Fengtang also vaguely sensed that the zombies here were not ordinary zombies; even a random one of them was so troublesome.
