Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 131 Wu Family
Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi escorted the corpse driver to the ancient tomb, and the corpse driver unexpectedly discovered a secret realm.

It's just that the two of them were afraid of danger, so they didn't plan to enter the secret realm.

"You guys continue, I'm just here to watch the fun." After Fan Shiyi finished speaking, he drew a pavilion in the tomb with a table and benches in it.

Fan Shiyi took some food and drinks from the storage space.

"Zhou Ping, ice cubes." Fan Shiyi said.

Zhou Ping rolled his eyes at her and then made an ice cube.

Over the past few days, Zhou Ping has been practicing the art of ice condensation, and he can now create fist-sized ice cubes.

On the other side, Fa Yuan saw that Zhou Ping had frozen water into ice, his face changed slightly, and he muttered to himself in a low voice: "This kid is getting more and more powerful, he can even cast spells."

Fa Yuan once planned to harm Zhou Ping, but Zhou Ping was actually fine.

"This kid is really lucky." Fa Yuan has been paying attention to the brothers Song Tianhu and Song Tianlong. He knows that both brothers were killed by an unknown master.

Fa Yuan thought Zhou Ping was lucky, he didn't know that it was Zhou Ping who killed Song Tianlong.

"Perhaps I can use this opportunity to drive the tiger to devour the wolf." Fa Yuan looked at Wu Dage. He knew that this person was a seventh-grade cultivator.

Fa Yuan was forced to come here, he didn't want to come.

Wu Dage discovered the secret realm earlier than Yue Yunfeng, but he was more cautious, so he did not enter directly, but chose to recruit troops and prepare things.

Qianzhou, the Wu family, is a family of corpse drivers.

In addition to corpse-driving, the Wu family is also a family of tomb robbers, but tomb robbing is something that cannot be made public, so everyone keeps it a secret.

Wu Da Ge first summoned the children of the Wu family, and then forced Fa Yuan to accompany him into the tomb. He knew that the tomb in this secret realm must be very complicated and there must be great risks.

There are all kinds of evil things in the tomb. With the help of Buddhism, the success rate will be increased.

Wu Dage is a master with extremely high cultivation among the younger generation, but he has been going to tombs with his father since he was a child and inhaled a lot of Yin energy, which also caused him to not grow tall.

Many years of visiting tombs have made him very cautious.

Those who are not careful have already remained in the grave.

Wu Dage looked at Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi with caution in his eyes. His gaze occasionally swept over Xiaoqing and the ghost bride.

"I have only heard of a ghost bride in red, but I have never seen one. This thing is evil and very fierce. If I could have it, it would definitely be a good helper for me to improve my strength."

"This snake demon has already reached the seventh level of aura, so it's not easy to deal with."

Wu Da Ge is more afraid of the ghost bride, but he also longs for such a fierce ghost.

At the entrance to the secret realm, Wu Dage and Yue Yunfeng discussed for a long time, and finally seemed to have reached an agreement.

"I'll lend you this person, and I'll lend you two of my brothers. I'll lend you this eighth-grade ghost, and I'll also lend you this eighth-grade toad monster." Wu Dage waved his hand.

An evil ghost and a toad appeared on the ground.

The moment the evil ghost appeared, the entire tomb became several degrees colder. He looked around viciously, as if he wanted to tear the people around him into pieces.

But when he saw the ghost bride, his arrogance disappeared immediately. He could feel that the ghost bride was stronger than him.

The toad was also very arrogant when it appeared, and it kept croaking. However, when it saw Xiaoqing, it suddenly froze in place and did not move, as if it was dead.

"You have quite a keen eye." Xiao Qing snorted coldly.

Wu Dage and Yue Yunfeng agreed that he would provide people and things, and Yue Yunfeng would be the first to explore the tomb. As for the things in the secret realm, Yue Yunfeng only wanted a few, and the rest would be given to Wu Dage.

Fan Shiyi said at the side: "The secret realm is very dangerous. The last secret realm we encountered was a different kind. There are many secret realms where you can't get out once you enter, unless someone can break through the realm."

Zhou Ping nodded.

On the other side, the first tomb exploration team is ready.

Yue Yunfeng, Fa Yuan, two members of the Wu family, an eighth-rank ghost and an eighth-rank toad.

"Let's try first to see if we can enter and exit the secret realm." Yue Yunfeng said.

The eighth-rank ghost entered the secret realm first, and soon after, he came out from it.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. They could enter and exit freely, which at least guaranteed that they would not be trapped inside.

Yue Yunfeng was about to lead people into the secret realm, and the female zombie beside him followed him inside.

However, after Yue Yunfeng went in, the female zombie could not enter.

Yue Yunfeng came out of the secret realm again: "The secret realm seems to restrict cultivation."

"Really? Let me take a look." Wu Dage tried to go in, but failed.

Wu Dage is of the seventh rank, while Yue Yunfeng is of the eighth rank.

The two looked at each other and knew that they could enter and exit the secret realm at will, but entry was restricted to those with cultivation above the seventh rank, not even zombies.

"Put my sister here, I'll look after her for you." Wu Dage said readily.

Yue Yunfeng glanced at Wu Da Ge, then walked towards Zhou Ping: "I want to buy a task."

Zhou Ping thought about it and nodded.

"Ten taels of silver, help me keep an eye on her." Yue Yunfeng led the female zombie to Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping looked at the female zombie: "What if you die?"

Yue Yunfeng: "If I die, you can let Wu Dage take him away."

Zhou Ping glanced at Wu Da Ge and nodded. Ten taels of silver, it would be a waste if you don't want it.

"Deposit, and the rest will be paid when I come back." Yue Yunfeng threw three taels of silver to Zhou Ping, who took it.

Next, Yue Yunfeng led a few people into the secret realm.

Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi were looking at the female zombie.

The female zombie was not tall, but had a well-proportioned body and was petite and delicate. Her face was covered with strings of copper coins, so her face could not be seen clearly.

"I think this female zombie is also pretty." Fan Shiyi muttered.

Xiaoqing shivered and jumped onto Zhou Ping: "Fan Shiyi, your hobby is really different from that of ordinary people."

The three were chatting when Wu Dage came over.

"Little brother, can you cut some ice cubes in this hot weather?" Wu Da Ge said, holding a cup in his hand.

Zhou Ping was slightly stunned, then chuckled and said, "Okay."

Although it was summer, it wasn't very hot in the tunnel. Wu Da Ge's real purpose in asking for ice cubes was not to drink, but to find an excuse to talk to the three people.

Whether it is Zhou Ping, Fan Shiyi or Xiaoqing, Wu Dage needs to make friends with them.

Although the Wu family is responsible for the corpse-driving project in Qianzhou County, this is a low-rate profession and the Wu family's status is not very high.

In order to strike up a conversation with the three people, Wu Dage took the ice from Zhou Ping and started talking about Yue Yunfeng and the female zombie.

"Speaking of which, Brother Yue is also a poor man." Wu Dage began to talk about Yue Yunfeng's life experience.

Wu Dage told Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi about Yue Yunfeng's life experience.

Wu Da's uncle had a daughter who was also a corpse driver. While driving corpses, he picked up an orphan.

From then on, the orphan started escorting goods with his uncle Wu Dage.

The orphan worked very hard and was very talented. He soon became the best in the task of driving corpses. Even the Wu family members of the same generation could not compare with him. Later, when Wu Da's uncle died, his daughter married the orphan.

When driving corpses, men and women must be separated.

After they got married, they started to drive corpses separately.

Later, when the daughter of Wu Dage, an uncle of his clan, was driving corpses, a female corpse turned into a zombie and bit her.

By that time, the zombie poison had already invaded the bloodstream and even gods could not save him.

According to the rules of the Wu family, people infected with corpse poison must be cremated, but the orphan was unwilling to do so. He snatched his lover away and wandered around the world from then on.

The orphan wants to find a magical medicine to remove the poison from his lover's corpse and turn her back into a human.

Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi were deeply saddened after hearing about Yue Yunfeng's life story.

They didn't expect that Yue Yunfeng had such a miserable life experience. Yue Yunfeng wandered around the world, looking for the elixir to make alchemy, hoping to turn zombies into humans.

However, according to Wu Da Ge, it is impossible to turn zombies into humans. This is just a legend.

"I thought that love between a human and a demon was the limit, but I didn't expect that..." Xiaoqing glanced at Fan Shiyi. At this moment, she suddenly felt that being a lesbian was not a problem.

Fan Shiyi seemed to see through Xiaoqing's thoughts: "Xiaoqing, I'm going to become a zombie, what will you do?"

Xiao Qing said angrily: "I will let Zhou Ping use the power of Buddha to subdue you and turn you into ashes."

Zhou Ping sighed, this is indeed the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, love between humans and demons and humans and ghosts are all basic operations.

The three were immersed in Yue Yunfeng's life experience when something unexpected suddenly happened in the secret realm.

"Save me!" A man came out from the secret realm. The moment he saw everyone, his eyes were filled with excitement and relief at surviving a disaster. However, the next moment, he went back in again.

Fortunately, the Wu family was quick-witted and someone had already grabbed the man's hand, and they tried desperately to pull the man out.

"Snap." With a light sound, the man was caught in the secret realm, but only half of his body was left.

Several people came to the entrance of the secret realm and looked at the man. The man was already dead, and there were horrible scratches on the back of his body. One of the scratches had exposed the bones on the man's back.

"Zombie!" Wu Dage frowned and said. He could see that the man's back was scratched by a zombie.

And looking at the man's body, there were scratches and bite marks.

In this situation, even if he is saved, he will be infected with the corpse poison.

The Wu family members took out various magical weapons and guarded the entrance to the secret book, fearing that zombies would come out.

Not long after, a toad jumped out from inside.

The toad was covered in blood and its four legs became three.

"Old Four, what's going on in there?" Wu Dage took out medicine to treat the toad's injuries. He was quite heartbroken. This toad had been with him since childhood and they had a very good relationship.

Toad's eyes were listless, and there was still fear in them: "Traps, zombies, and various magical weapons. The third one is dead."

Wu Dage's face changed drastically. The third one that Toad was talking about was an eighth-grade ghost.

Ghosts have no physical form and are difficult to kill. He didn't expect that his own ghost would also die in there.

This ghost was his blood relative, and when the two of them went to the tomb together, he died in it to save himself. Wu Dagu spent a huge price to turn him into a ghost, and he also spent a lot of energy to make him an eighth-grade ghost.

This ghost has saved Wu Da Ge many times!
"Where are the others?" Wu Da Ge asked again.

Toad said: "That monk and Yue Yunfeng are still struggling to hold on. If it weren't for that monk, I'm afraid we would all have died in there."

Wu Da Ge glanced at the children of the Wu family. Among them, there were tenth-rank and ninth-rank people, but no eighth-rank people. He was in a hurry on this trip, so he didn't bring anyone of the eighth rank with him.

However, if people of the ninth and tenth ranks were allowed in, they would most likely be killed.

At this moment, Zhou Ping thought: "Could it be that the zombies inside are the zombies I saw?"

Zhou Ping saw a mummy in Song Tianlong’s memory, and the mummy directly turned Song Tianlong into a seventh-grade ghost.

If this zombie is in the secret realm, it will be really difficult to deal with.

"What's the zombie's cultivation level?" Wu Da Ge asked. The Wu family's people didn't have high cultivation levels, so they would die if they went in. However, he was at the seventh level, and the secret realm restricted him to the seventh level, so he couldn't go in.

Toad recalled: "Better than you."

Wu Da's mouth twitched slightly. He was somewhat glad that he didn't go in. "What kind of secret realm is this? It's restricted to the seventh rank, but the enemy inside is actually the seventh rank."

Wu Dage looked at Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi again.

Fan Shiyi waved his paper fan gently: "I want to go in and take a look, but I am a fourth-rank official."

Neither Fan Shiyi, Xiaoqing, nor the ghost bride could get in.

Wu Da Ge looked at Zhou Ping. He wanted Zhou Ping to go in and rescue people. He also wanted to know the information inside.

"Brother, this is a piece of ghost bone. It is full of ghost energy and may be useful to you. Just rescue them." Wu Dage took out a piece of bone with rich ghost energy on it.

Zhou Ping took the bone and threw it to the ghost bride: "Deal."

After saying this, Zhou Ping entered the secret realm.

However, when the ghost bride caught the bone, she took the ghost baby out of her stomach and threw him into the secret realm.

The ghost baby was still confused, but had already followed Zhou Ping into the secret realm.

Zhou Ping entered the secret realm with a vajra in his left hand and a thousand-blade magic sword in his right hand.

It was dark all around him and he could vaguely hear the sounds of fighting.

The perception range of the Tianling Fa was instantly opened.

This place is similar to an altar, and there is a hole in one place of the altar.

There is a tripod at the entrance of the cave.

A zombie is fighting with Yue Yunfeng and Fa Yuan.

There is a little zombie following Yue Yunfeng, but this little zombie is in the same group as Yue Yunfeng and is helping Yue Yunfeng.

The two men were struggling and had many wounds on their bodies. If it weren't for Fa Yuan's power to restrain the zombies, they would probably have died.

"Someone is here to rescue us, let's run away quickly." Fa Yuan noticed someone coming in, but he didn't know it was Zhou Ping.

Fa Yuan left first. He ran to the cave entrance and found that it was Zhou Ping.

After Fa Yuan escaped, all the pressure from the zombies was put on Yue Yunfeng.

Yue Yunfeng was almost caught by zombies several times, but fortunately his little zombies helped him.

Zhou Ping held the vajra, which was shining with yellow light, illuminating the darkness.

The golden light also attracted the attention of the zombies.

"Go!" Zhou Ping first threw out a few talismans to kill ghosts. The talismans were useless when they landed on the zombies.

However, while the zombie was stunned, Yue Yunfeng brought the little zombie to the exit of the secret realm.

"Hurry up, the two of us will cover your back." Fa Yuan threw Yue Yunfeng out of the secret realm, and then said to Zhou Ping, "Zhou Ping, you go too, I will cover your back."

Zhou Ping grinned at Fa Yuan: "Want to attack me from behind?"
