Knife splashing

Chapter 495: Nanchong Corpse Farm

"Master Tao, Master Tao!"

Seeing Wang Daoxuan striding forward, the man quickly quickened his pace to catch up, and said anxiously, "Master Dao, it's already so late, please don't keep us in suspense, what's going on?"

The mission they received this time was also about zombies.

There is an abandoned ancient village in the nearby mountains. It is said that during the Daxing period when the North and the South were in confrontation, there was a war and the entire village was massacred.

Nanchong is rich in citrus fruits, especially in the ancient orchard near the river at the southern end of Qinglin Village. The citrus trees here are old but have bright flowers, which is one of the eight scenic spots in Nanchong, the "Autumn Colors of Fruit Mountain".

However, the workers sent to do the work encountered zombies.

Although no one was injured, the workers were frightened and fled. For a while, everyone was panicked and no one dared to go to that place again.

If this matter is not handled properly, the rich family will suffer heavy losses.

A wealthy family in the city took a fancy to the ancient village and wanted to build an orchard and a villa, and transport the fruits to various places via the Jialing River.

These monster hunters were not experts. After following Wang Daoxuan to do a job once, they kept following him around to help.

But when it came to this job, Wang Daoxuan just took a few glances at the mountain, then directly refused and turned away.

But they were greedy, so they took the job privately.

From what Wang Daoxuan said, he realized there was something else going on. The man immediately became anxious and wanted to figure out what had happened.

Wang Daoxuan did not speak directly, but looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers and said: "Do you know what the feng shui of Nanchong is like?"

"There must be something wrong if there are so many weird things going on!"

The man shook his head and said with certainty.

"wrong!"

Wang Daoxuan said in a deep voice: "This place is located in the Northeast Basin. It is mainly hilly and mountainous. It is surrounded by mountains. It is a place where wind and energy gather. There are also many rivers running through it. It is an excellent feng shui dragon vein."

The man was a little confused, "Master Dao, what do you mean?"

"There must be a place to raise corpses here!"

Wang Daoxuan stroked his beard and said, "It's probably man-made."

"The place you went to looks a bit strange to me. It is in the shade and the terrain is steep. It is definitely not a good place to build an orchard."

"The wealthy people who employ you probably know something."

"Damn it, they set a trap for me!"

The man came to his senses and his face was suddenly filled with anger.

The rules of their industry are that they should do the job after receiving the money. If an accident occurs, life or death is their own choice.

But if someone deliberately sets a trap, it will be a fight to the death.

"Not urgent."

Wang Daoxuan shook his head slightly: "Ask first."

……

Nanchong County is located on the banks of the Jialing River.

This place was named after the south of Chongguo County in the Han Dynasty. During the Daxing period, it was renamed Shunqing Prefecture. When the Daxuan Dynasty was established, it was changed back to Nanchong County.

As a port city, commerce is naturally developed.

The buildings here are mostly made of bamboo and wood, with white walls and black tiles.

The shops along the street are all connected with wooden planks to form doors. They are closed at night and opened during the day, displaying a wide variety of goods.

There were constant hawking sounds along the street and the traffic was crowded with horse-drawn carriages.

Wang Daoxuan and his two companions arrived at the county town and went straight to a large mansion in the east of the city, where they knocked on the iron ring outside the door.

squeak~
The door opened and a servant came out. When he saw the two of them, his face looked a little unnatural. "It's you two. I wonder why..."

The man next to him had a hot temper. Before the servant finished speaking, he grabbed him by the collar and said, "You looked so enthusiastic a few days ago, but today you blocked me outside the door. Are you hiding something?"

"Where is your master?!"

The boy struggled in panic, but could not utter a word.

The demon hunter got angry immediately and pushed him out. He walked two steps with a swagger, then turned sideways and raised his hand and said, "Master Dao, please come in."

Wang Daoxuan laughed in silence and didn't care.

These monster hunters are considered to be at the lowest level of the Xuanmen. Their kung fu is okay and they can reach the level of dark energy, but their aptitude for cultivation is average, and building one floor is their limit.

Most of them rely on supernatural powers and use magical instruments to do their work.

Although he was a bit reckless and greedy, he had no intention of harming anyone. He secretly investigated intelligence and used these people as cover-up.

Seeing that he was not angry, the man immediately gained confidence and walked in angrily. When he met the servant who came to block him, he pushed him away and shouted loudly: "He, He, where are you?!"

Two men suddenly rushed out from the main hall, one holding a knife and the other wearing brass knuckles, and they took stances and blocked the door.

"Po Pan Men?"

The demon hunter sneered, stuck the silver spear in his hand into the ground, and rolled up his sleeves. "Come on, let's see what you can do!"

Although he yelled loudly, he also knew the rules.

The court now has strict rules. No matter what the reason, if a sorcerer kills people in broad daylight, it will be a big trouble.

Even if it's revenge killing, it has to be done in private.

"stop!"

An old voice came from the main hall.

Afterwards, a skinny old man in official clothes walked out slowly with the help of two maids and a cane.

After seeing the two of them, he sighed, "Master Chen, Taoist Youji, I am sorry for my rudeness. I hope you can forgive me. Why don't we go inside and talk?"

The demon hunter’s surname is Chen and his name is Sanbang.

From the name, you can tell that he comes from a poor family.

Seeing that Chen Sanbang was still full of anger, the old man advised: "Mr. Chen, with your skills, our He family is also a lamb to be slaughtered, why rush?"

Chen Sanbang turned his head to look at Wang Daoxuan, and when he saw him nod, he snorted coldly and followed the old man into the main hall.

After entering the house, the old man asked the maid to serve tea, and then said, "Go and carry the young master over here."

Soon, several servants carried a person on a stretcher into the main hall.

He was a young man, but he had contracted some serious illness. He was emaciated, his face was abnormally oily, he had already fainted, and his breath was filled with a disgusting stench.

The old man asked, "Master Chen, is that zombie difficult to deal with?"

Chen Sanbang also noticed something was wrong, but he did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "Tell me first, what's going on?"

"This is really an injustice."

The old man sighed and said, "My rebellious son didn't study hard in the academy, but loved those strange things. Whenever he heard about these things, he would run over to join in the fun."

"That day, he came back from home and said that he had met a fairy. His words moved him so much that he asked people to prepare tea and wine, saying that he would visit her again."

"I have lost confidence in him a long time ago, and my family is not worried about money. I think if there is a good match, it would be a good thing. But I have to find out the other party's family background first, so as not to attract bad people, so I sent a servant to follow secretly.

Unexpectedly, the boy ran to the wilderness and drank with a monster covered with black hair next to an old tea forest.

The servant was terrified and ran back to call for help. The housekeepers rode their horses, lit fire and went to rescue people. The monster was hit by the rocket and turned into black smoke and escaped.

But my son suddenly fainted and fell ill after returning.

That evening, a Taoist priest suddenly came to the door and said that my son had been bewitched by a powerful black-haired zombie and would come again that night.

Sure enough, the black-haired zombie appeared again at night and sneaked into the dog's room. Fortunately, we drove it away. The Taoist priest said that this thing is very smart. If you want to get rid of it, you can only find its nest and set up a formation to kill it.

But this matter must not be leaked, lest the black-haired zombie become angry and directly harm my son.

The Taoist priest found the place, but he suddenly disappeared. I have no choice but to ask you for help.

Because they were afraid that the black-haired zombies would come to take revenge, they just made up an excuse and didn’t announce it to the public…”

"madness!"

Chen Sanbang was furious when he heard this. "Zombies are born to be bloodthirsty. Even if they are highly skilled, they only want to suck blood and harm people. How can they drink alcohol or tea?"

"Besides, the black-haired zombies are not yet fully formed, and they hide underground and sleep in broad daylight. How could they come out and use magic to confuse people?"

After all, he was a demon hunter, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Ah, this..."

Mr. He was also surprised, his eyes were uncertain, "Master Chen, do you mean to say that the Taoist priest is deceiving me?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Then what is that black-haired monster?"

"That thing is called a hairy ghost."

Wang Daoxuan, who was standing by, suddenly said, "This creature is a mountain monster, mostly transformed from a monkey, with hair all over its body, red, white and black, and three eyes. The vertical eye on its forehead can charm people and cause hallucinations."

"It is recorded in Tongyouji, Yijianzhi and Sou Shen Houji, so it has long hair all over its body and can perform magic, but its power is not great. It likes to eat human and animal hearts, and also likes to run into people's homes to harm them."

"But this creature has both good and bad sides. The one recorded in the Sequel to the Inquisition of the Gods appeared in the tea forest and gave people tangerines to eat."

"Yeah!"

Mr. He said quickly, "Every time my son came back, he would bring oranges and ask us to eat some."

"Oh?"

Wang Daoxuan became interested, "Is Tangerine available?"

Mr. He said with an unpleasant face: "That Taoist priest said that tangerines are the poison that the black-haired zombies use to harm people. He even opened one on the spot and found it was full of maggots."

"That's a sleight of hand!"

Chen Sanbang cursed, "Those oranges must be good stuff. You believed the rumors and let someone cheat you out of your treasure!"

Wang Daoxuan also nodded in agreement.

"Hey~"

Mr. He sighed, "It's my bad luck that I didn't know how to appreciate the treasure. My son has become like this now. Could it be the revenge of that hairy ghost?"

"No, I was murdered by someone!"

Wang Daoxuan's robe shook, and he stood up and said, "Go, find a coffin, and get a few bags of grains."

"Hurry up!"

The old man immediately understood and hurriedly urged the servant.

The He family was not the richest family in Nanchong, but they were well-off. In less than an incense stick of time, they had brought in a coffin and several bags full of grains.

Wang Daoxuan took out the compass, walked around the yard a few times, and came to a shady place full of bamboos. "Here it is, dig three feet deep."

Under his command, the servants dug a large pit, placed the young man in the coffin, piled grains on the surface of the body, and buried it directly underground.

Mr. He was terrified, "Master, this won't suffocate you, will it?"

Wang Daoxuan glanced at him calmly and said, "What I want is to die once."

"what?!"

Mr. He was stunned.

Wang Daoxuan saw that the old man couldn't stand it anymore, so he stopped keeping it a secret and said, "Your son was killed by a ghost."

"This kind of evil thing is called 'Er Shu Zi' by the people, and is also called Gaohuang ghost. The area below the heart is Gao, and the chest is Huang. The saying "there is a ghost in the heart and the disease is in Gaohuang" refers to this thing."

"This thing is extremely difficult to remove. I have to fake my own death and use the Five Grains Exorcism Technique to force it out."

After saying that, he raised his hand to draw a talisman, stepped on the magic steps, took out the Money Sword, and stuck it into the ground above the coffin, then muttered something.

After a while, there was a howling wind all around.

This strange wind swirled, stirred up the dust on the ground, and flew around the Money Sword, as if trying to escape, but was tightly bound by the magic sword.

After a few breaths, the strange wind suddenly stopped.

"Quick, open the coffin!"

At Wang Daoxuan's command, the people around him immediately became busy.

They lifted the coffin out again and opened it. They found that all the grains in the coffin had turned black and emitted a foul odor.

They hurriedly carried the young man out, only to find that he was still unconscious. However, the greasy sick color on his face was gone, and his breathing became even.

"Thank you, Taoist Youji!"

Mr. He breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply.

He fell ill while working on a ship when he was young. He was the only son in his family. If he died, there would be no descendants at all.

"Your family's troubles are over!"

Chen Sanbang snorted coldly, "My brothers are pitiful, they are still trapped in there. I guess it was that Taoist who did it. Did he tell me his name, and did he leave anything behind?"

"He said his Taoist name was Ziyun, but it was probably a pseudonym."

With his only son saved, Mr. He regained his clarity of mind. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "He left nothing behind when he left. But one day when the servants went to deliver hot water, they found this man worshipping the statue of the Dragon King."

It's the Dragon Worship Cult...

When Wang Daoxuan heard this, a light flashed in his eyes.

After he came here, he vaguely heard some rumors, but after searching in many places, he found nothing related to this matter.

Unexpectedly, I found the clue here.

"Master, let's..."

Chen Sanbang naturally had no idea what he was thinking. He looked anxious and wanted to ask Wang Daoxuan to go and rescue him.

Wang Daoxuan pondered for a moment, "That place may have big problems. If you and I go there, we might get caught up in it."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Mr. He, stroked his beard and smiled: "Mr. He, do you want revenge?"

"This demon has harmed my He family, so naturally he cannot be forgiven."

Mr. He nodded, but said with embarrassment: "But this demon has powerful magic, if he takes revenge..."

People are like this, they become weak once the danger is over.

Especially since the He family is wealthy and powerful, even if they have suffered losses, they don't want to get involved in these evil things again.

Moreover, he could see that even Wang Daoxuan was so cautious and had lost several demon hunters, so the other party was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"It doesn't matter."

Wang Daoxuan stroked his beard and said calmly: "The court is worried about the corpse disaster in Nanchong. It is not easy for us to go and tell others. Mr. He just needs to tell others that if the source of this matter is found, someone will naturally deal with it."

……

Just as Wang Daoxuan expected, when Mr. He went to the yamen and told the county magistrate about this matter, he did not suspect anything and immediately ordered many yamen runners to go there. He also mobilized the soldiers from the garrison, all of whom were armed with firearms.

The demon hunters gathered in Nanchong also flocked to the place...
