Chapter 817 Weird things
The big butterfly flapped its wings a few times, and when the three people reappeared, they were already standing on a huge rock covered with green moss!
Pu Yanlan slowly landed beside the three people. Gu Shiyi laughed and took a breath of the fresh air in the forest.

“It looks good here!”

The spiritual energy in this world is rather scarce. If it is used for cultivation, I am afraid that even thirty thousand years will not produce a Mahayana cultivator. However, if it is used for the lives of ordinary people, it is more than enough.

Pu Yanlan sensed the spiritual energy around her and nodded.

"Although the spiritual energy is not very strong, the mountains and forests are dense and the vegetation is abundant, which is enough for ordinary people to live in peace!"

Here, she took out the compass given by Cui Chenghuang. The compass was surrounded by dark energy and was held in Pu Yanlan's jade-white palm. The needle on it trembled slightly. Pu Yanlan frowned and turned a few directions, but found that the compass still did not move.
"It seems that there is no Yin Qi within a hundred miles..."

There was no Yin Qi, which meant there was no trace of the old man. Gu Shiyi looked at her, thought for a moment, and pointed in a random direction.
"Let's go over there and take a look first!"

The direction that Gu Shiyi pointed to was a big river after crossing the mountains and forests. There was a roaring and turbulent river between the cliffs and canyons, roaring down the river channel, and only became gentle and smooth when it reached the plains downstream. Then there were scattered villages built along the river, and there were many rice fields spread out, with farmers working in the fields, and roads and paths intersecting, with carriages and pedestrians coming and going. The four of them hid their bodies in the air, flew along the road for a while, and then they saw a small city. They descended, mixed into the crowd entering the city, and walked in.

This city was not much different from the world they came from, and people's clothing was similar. The four of them did not stand out in the crowd.

Gu Shiyi followed the custom of the underworld and led everyone into the restaurant, listening attentively to see if there were any strange things happening. Sure enough, he heard someone saying,
"Do you know? A strange thing happened in the nearby thirteen cities..."

"Oh...are you talking about the person who died and came back to life in that city?"

"Isn't it? You've all heard about it?"

"I know a little bit. I heard from merchants that there was an old man named Liu in the city. He died a while ago. When he was lying in state at home, he suddenly sat up from his coffin..."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what happened. One of my cousins ​​just married his third aunt, who married over there. They say she lives next door to Old Man Liu. I heard from him that Old Man Liu was 86 years old this year. On the day he died, he had a bowl of rice and a glass of wine at noon. The next day, his family couldn't wake him up. When they checked his breath, they said he was dead. His family was busy arranging the funeral, but he stayed at home for two days. On the third night, the people who were keeping vigil heard the coffin creaking, so they went to check and found that the dead man inside had pushed open the coffin lid and sat up. He didn't say a word, just stared at people..."

Everyone listened to the man's vivid description. Gu Shiyi on the side glanced at Pu Yanlan. Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows and heard the man over there continue to say,
"After that... the old man suddenly stood up from the coffin, and then jumped out of the coffin, hopping and jumping, without even bending his knees, and just jumped out like that. Everyone chased after him, and he jumped into a chicken coop nearby, grabbed a live chicken, put it at his feet, and started to eat it..."

Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows again when she heard this.
"This is a zombie!"

Gu Shiyi was surprised.
"It's only been seven days since his death, and he's already become a zombie?"

Pu Yanlan sneered.
"There is not much spiritual energy here, and there is also little Yin energy. The terrain here is a plain, and I think the nearby cities are not much different. I have just observed the terrain in mid-air, and there is no place where Yin gathers... Moreover, a place where Yin gathers will not be in a densely populated city..."

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows.
"So... someone is controlling the zombies?"

Pu Yanlan nodded, and heard the man next to her still spitting.
"... Old man Liu is now locked up in his room by his family. No one dares to beat or kill him. The government officials have been there twice, but they still don't know how to deal with it..."

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other. Just then, the waiter came to serve the dishes. Gu Shiyi smiled and asked the waiter,

"Little Second Brother, may I ask if there is a Taoist temple nearby?"

Xiao Er was stunned.
"Taoist temple? What is a Taoist temple?"

Gu Shiyi was also startled and glanced at Pu Yanlan, who then asked,
"Are there any Buddhist temples or something like that?"

The waiter shook his head blankly.

"I haven't heard of it..."

Gu Shiyi asked the waiter a few more times if he had ever heard of any mountain spirits or monsters in the deep mountains. The waiter looked even more confused.
"What is a demon or a monster? What is a demon or a monster?"

After asking for a long time, the two finally figured out that there were no wild goblins in this world, nor were there any zombies or animals that would pounce on people to eat them. This world was clean with only ordinary mortals and ordinary animals. Due to the vast land and sparse population, there were few large-scale wars. Compared to other worlds full of fighting and killing, this was truly a paradise!

Gu Shiyi sent the waiter away and sighed,
"It's just that there is too little spiritual energy. Otherwise, it would be a good place to live in seclusion!" Pu Yanlan sighed.
"If there really is spiritual energy, there would be many wild spirits and monsters in the mountains, and there would be many places where the yin and yang are out of balance, and corpses would become stiff. Everything in this world is built on top of each other. If you gain something, you lose something. You can't take everything!"

That's why the story of Old Man Liu coming back to life and eating live chickens was so shocking and attracted many people to tell the story.

"Let's go and take a look at that old man Liu!"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"Even if there is no place with extreme yin and yang in this world, the appearance of the zombie must be someone secretly controlling it... Naturally, I have to go and take a look!"

The four people left the restaurant and headed for the Thirteen Cities that the man mentioned. The Thirteen Cities were about four or five hundred miles away from this city, and the four people arrived there in less than half an incense stick of time. The city in front was close to the river, with a ferry terminal and developed shipping, while the Thirteen Cities were built in the heart of the plain, with many accesses to all directions. The official roads outside the four gates were busy with cars and people coming and going, and it was very lively!

The four entered the city and asked someone about the residence of Old Man Liu. When they mentioned Old Man Liu, the man looked confused.

"There are countless people with the last name Liu in this city, and there are countless old men as well. Which one are you talking about?"

Then he said it was the old man who had died and come back to life. The man suddenly realized.

"You told me earlier!"

He pointed the direction to the four people and added,

"If you go now, I'm afraid there will be too many people..."

When Gu Shiyi asked, he found out that ever since that incident, the residence of the Liu family had become a tourist attraction. Every day, many people came to see the old man who came back to life. The people here had no concept of evil spirits or zombies, so when such a person appeared, everyone regarded it as a strange thing. For a while, the Liu family's house was crowded with people, and even the thresholds of the neighbors' houses were trampled down. They explained what happened that night over and over again to everyone every day, and they had to drink several more pots of hot water every day!

Gu Shiyi, Pu Yanlan and the other two went over and saw that there were indeed quite a few people gathered in front of the house. The four of them looked at each other and Pu Yanlan sighed.
"The air is mixed during the day, we can only wait until night!"

The four of them went outside to find a restaurant and sat there until dark. When they saw the crowd in the alley disperse, they hid their figures and walked into the Liu family. The Liu family was not big, with a total of two small courtyards. The crazy old man Liu was locked in the woodshed outside.

The people here didn't know about zombies, so they thought that Old Man Liu was not dead, but had contracted a strange disease and went mad, so he was chewing live chickens. They called a doctor but he couldn't be cured, so they had to lock him up in the woodshed.

"Hehehe..."

In the woodshed, the zombie clinging to the door had cloudy white eyes, a foul odor emanating from his body, and his face had turned ashen. He opened his big, toothless mouth and twitched his nose, sniffing the breath of the four living people in front of him.
"Master, is he...really dead?"

When Wang Xueying was a child, she had seen dead bodies when she fled with her parents, but she had never seen such a dead body that was full of death and moved like a beast. Pu Yanlan nodded and said,
"This kind of person who is full of death energy has no life force left. The reason he can still move is because someone has blocked the last breath of life that should have been exhaled in his chest. With a breath of life blocked in his chest, his soul cannot leave his body. If his soul cannot leave his body, the ghost messenger cannot come to lead him to the underworld, and he will become a walking corpse that is neither alive nor dead..."

"Hehehe..."

The old man Liu, whose eyes were white as death, seemed to understand what Pu Yanlan said, and opened his mouth to yell in her direction. An old woman inside heard the noise and came out to check. Seeing the old man Liu in the woodshed yelling and yelling outside, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Master Zhuanghu, tell me...what's wrong with you? You might as well die if you suffer like this!"

After saying this, she wiped her tears and started crying. A young wife came over to help her and she went in hunched over. Wang Xueying looked at her pitifully and asked Pu Yanlan,
"Little Master, can you get that breath out of his chest?"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"Of course... But we still need him to find the person who did it..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and the wooden door that had been tightly closed suddenly opened.
"Hehehe..."

The zombie lying on the door suddenly jumped out, fell to the ground, and scratched its limbs, unable to get up for a long time. Gu Shiyi raised his hand and grabbed it. The zombie was lifted into the air by an invisible big hand. It screamed loudly, like a dog being grabbed by the scruff of the neck, kicking and scratching non-stop.
"Eleven, put him down!"
