I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 88: The Walking Dead
"My mother?"

Li Yingtai frowned slightly, she didn't understand what Jin Chan was going to do.

"Yes, your mother, the more detailed the better!"

Jin Chan said seriously.

"My mother's surname is Wu, her given name is Li, and she was originally from the Wuwei Cross in Chang'an. Before I left the Tang Dynasty, I was the Tang King's concubine. Now I guess..."

Li Yingtai did not dare to think further. He was no longer the crown prince. He might even be beheaded by the King of Tang and have the Golden Phoenix Seal dug out of his body.

As for my mother’s current situation, it is probably not very good, and it is not even clear whether she is still alive.

"Su Quji, you will take the brothers from the Dark Camp and form teams of five to go to Chang'an City and investigate the current situation of Yingtai's mother."

"If she is still alive and not in a bad situation, tell her that Yingtai has returned to the Tang Dynasty and ask her to make preparations in advance. As for the details, don't tell her anything."

"However, if Concubine Wu is still favored by the King of Tang and lives in the palace, then you should hold your ground and make other plans after I arrive in Chang'an."

From Li Xin's letter, Jin Chan learned that there were problems within the Tang Dynasty.

Instead of more than 400 people moving at the same time in a large group, it would be better to split up into small groups and head to Chang'an separately.

"As ordered!"

Su Quji was much more obedient than Bai Tao. He agreed to Jin Chan's orders without even asking.

Moreover, the Dark Camp has strong execution capabilities.

It took less than a cup of tea for Jin Chan to finish explaining all these things.

The dilapidated Taoist temple, which was originally packed with people, became empty in an instant. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of horses coming from all directions.

"Jin Chan, you are actually from the royal family?"

Today was the first time that Li Yingtai heard Jin Chan announce his identity.

"It's just nonsense, otherwise I can't scare them!"

Jin Chan didn't want to dwell on this issue for too long, so he just made up an excuse to get away with it.

"Oh, I don't believe it!"

"However, if you want my mother to help you, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible!"

Li Yingtai was not stupid, and he had roughly guessed something from Jin Chan's words just now.

Although my mother's family was not poor, it was just an ordinary family at best.

In the struggle for the pinnacle of power in the Tang Dynasty, he will certainly be of no help.

"Yingtai, it's been thirteen years. Don't underestimate these thirteen years!"

The woman who was the only one favored by the King of Tang in the harem, and who was able to send the young Li Yingtai into the army, making General Yuchi wholeheartedly protect her at the risk of his life.

No matter how Jin Chan thought about it, he felt that this would not be a simple person.

"Let's go, it's time for us to set off!"

Jin Chan picked up the luggage on the ground, glanced around the dilapidated Taoist temple, and then walked out.

At this time, autumn rain had started to fall outside.

Although it is not big, it is continuous.

The horses and carriages obtained from Purdue Church were still neatly tied up in the courtyard.

Jin Chan picked up a straw raincoat hat left by Su Quji and put it on his head, then mounted his horse.

After the two women, one big and one small, got on the carriage, they set off.

However, according to Li Yingtai, the road leading to Chang'an is now filled with Tang Dynasty troops.

In order to avoid any unexpected situations, Jin Chan thought about it and decided to choose another path that required crossing the mountain.

Although the mountain is not very high, it is not as smooth as the road.

that's it.

The three of them walked for a whole day, and only just got over the hill when the sun set.

After building a bonfire for spending the night and cooking, Jin Chan waited for Li Yingtai to come back from the river to catch fish and put them in the pot.

“No, that’s not good.”

Sudden.

Li Yingtai's face turned pale as he ran towards the direction of Jin Chan.

"What happened?"

Jin Chan pulled out the fish belly and thought: Could it be that the Tang army also took the shortcut?
"Corpses. Lots of corpses."

Li Yingtai leaned over, supported his knees with his hands, and spoke breathlessly.

Her body was already soaked with sweat from fear. "Corpses? Haven't you seen enough in the Southern Wilds?"

Jin Chan felt a little strange. The road to heaven built by people was horrifying enough.

In places like the Central Plains, there is a sense of righteousness everywhere.

There is no such person as Master Pudu, so what is there to be afraid of?

"It's different, it's different, I."

"You'll know for yourself if you go and see for yourself!"

Li Yingtai held little Luoyang in his arms and spoke stutteringly.

"Strange!"

Jin Chan put down the firewood in his hand, stood up and walked towards the river.

"What the hell is this?"

Jin Chan swallowed subconsciously and looked down the river with wide eyes.

I saw a small river flowing down the mountain.

Corpses floated upstream one after another, seemingly without end.

The faces of all these corpses were smashed and their stomachs were completely emptied.

The internal organs, eyeballs, teeth and tongue were stuffed into his mouth and were roasted by the strange green flames.

The forehead and limbs of the corpse were all covered with talismans with red characters on a yellow background.

The strangest thing is that all the corpses had their heads shaved and had their hair burned with ordination marks.

Just like the monks in those temples.

"Zombies walking against the current!"

Jin Chan recalled the documents he had seen in the Lanshu Building.

But the book never mentions that the "walking corpse" was a monk!
"Hurry!"

Return to the campfire.

Taking Xiao Luoyang, whose stomach was growling, and Li Yingtai, whose face was pale, Jin Chan decided to set off on his journey overnight.

But after dark, the way down the mountain becomes extremely difficult to walk.

Jin Chan was leading the horse in front, exploring the way carefully.

Until after a night, the sun rises again.

It took them a while to reach halfway up the mountain.

Because the mountains were relatively humid in the early morning, white fog rose all around.

Slowly, the white fog became thicker and thicker.

"Be careful!"

Because of his extraordinary hearing, Jin Chan vaguely heard a group of tiny footsteps in the thick fog.

These people walked very lightly, and strangely, they seemed to walk differently from normal people.

There is both regularity and rhythm.

Not a moment.

There were at least a hundred people surrounding the carriage.

It felt like the footsteps were getting more frequent and the sound was getting smaller.

Jin Chan held the restless horse with one hand and took out the fish belly from his waist with the other hand.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker at this time, and even the carriage that was so close became a little hazy.

in the car.

Li Yingtai held little Luoyang tightly under him, holding the Zhuyun Tang sword in his hand, his eyes moving back and forth, he was extremely alert and did not dare to be careless even for a moment.

Sudden.

Without any warning, there was a loud snap and a pair of pale hands broke through the thick fog behind Jin Chan and tightly grabbed Jin Chan's neck.

These hands seemed to have no temperature and were chilly to the point of being creepy.

But the strength is surprisingly great.

In just a moment, Jin Chan felt as if his throat was pinched.
