The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 674: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (27)

"Taozi, Taozi, don't sleep."

Hearing the familiar and kind voice, Naraku Momoko opened her eyes in confusion. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked up. The light of the setting sun shone on the floor, leaving a warm orange-yellow light spot, and the figure that seemed very far away from her was kneeling on the porch with a cup of steaming tea beside him and his back to her.

Everything is so warm and nostalgic.

"Master?" Naraku Momoko wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, sat up from the tatami, yawned loudly, and asked, "It's so late? Oh, no, it's time to prepare dinner! Master, why didn't you wake me up?"

In response to the girl's somewhat complaining tone, she just smiled and said, "Because you were sleeping so soundly, Xiao Taozi, I didn't have the heart to wake you up."

"Really..." Naraku Momoko stood up and stretched: "I have to cook quickly."

"Cooking? That's great..." The figure behind him said with a smile, "Xiao Taozi, you are still so virtuous. I wonder which lucky guy will marry you in the future."

Naraku Momoko blushed and became a little angry: "Master, what are you talking about? I don't want to get married. I am a disciple of the dojo and I am here to inherit the mantle of the school... I just want to be with you forever."

"You are so childish, Little Peach." The master muttered, "You said you would stay with me forever, but how can such a thing be possible? Everyone will die, no one is exempt."

Naraku Momoko said angrily: "Master, why are you saying such things again! It is because you always speak the truth that the business of our dojo is so bad, and all the customers are scared away."

"Really... But, Xiao Taozi, you didn't break your promise on this matter." The master smiled, turned around slowly, and said, "After all... you said that you wanted us to be together forever..."

……

"action!"

Qian Xiaoyi and his men did not wait foolishly for the enemy to appear. The moment the coffin lid was pushed, they also moved.

Qian Xiaoyi took the lead and appeared in front of the coffin almost in an instant, with a piece of ink line pulled out from the inkwell in his hand.

"King Kong!" Qian Xiaoyi shouted.

"Oh!" King Kong responded, jumped high, and then landed next to the coffin. He stretched out his hands to press the coffin lid, and began to wrestle with the owner of the hand that stretched out from inside, causing the speed of opening the coffin to slow down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qian Xiaoyi quickly pulled out the ink line and kept flicking the ink line on the coffin, forming crisscross lines like a chessboard on it. Whenever that hand wanted to push open the coffin, those ink lines would emit golden light, like a physical barrier that prevented it from being pushed open.

Ling Na stared at this scene with wide eyes and said in surprise: "Is it effective?"

It would be great if we could suppress the enemy before it fully awakens.

The mountain god in her hand sneered and said, "It would be strange if it were so easy to succeed."

Before Shanshen Nengmian could finish his words, King Kong and Qian Xiaoyi suddenly felt the sudden pressure from the surroundings.

Not the coffins beneath them, but the surroundings!

The skulls scattered on the ground moved, they opened their mouths and made a "clicking" sound, and flew up out of thin air, biting the two men. King Kong crushed a skull, and immediately other skulls came and bit him. Although they could not cause any harm to him, they did hinder his action of suppressing the coffin.

Qian Xiaoyi took out the copper coin sword and kept smashing the skulls, but this caused the ink line on the coffin to become distorted.

"What the hell is this!" King Kong shouted, feeling as if everything around them was their enemy!
Qian Xiaoyi frowned and shouted, "No, I can't hold it down, retreat!"

The two men immediately retreated and left the location of the coffin. They just tried it a little at the beginning, what if they succeeded?

However, they were just trying to give it a try, so even if they failed, they didn't get discouraged. They just stared at the direction of the coffin, ready to launch an attack at any time.

boom!boom!boom……

As if it was getting impatient, violent muffled sounds began to come from the coffin. Each muffled sound made the ink line on the pipe dimmer. Finally, after several fierce collisions, the coffin lid soared into the sky and then fell heavily on the ground not far away. A huge amount of black air gushed out of the coffin, which made people feel awe.

A figure suddenly stood up from the coffin, straight and straight, without any sign of exerting any force.

"This is... a zombie!" At this moment, Terao Yu's entire body was covered in cold sweat. This was not the funny image in the movie wearing Qing Dynasty official uniform, but a real monster.

The black gas rising from the coffin disappeared as the figure stood up. No, it did not disappear, but was all absorbed into its body. Thanks to this, everyone finally saw the true face of the enemy.

……

Under the setting sun, the figure turned around, looked at Naraku Momoko with his shrunken eyes, and said, "Little Momoko, is this what you want? To be with me like this?"

"Ah!" Granny Tao woke up from the bed, and Naraku Hanako was also awakened at the same time. She came to the bedside and asked with concern: "What happened? Granny? Are you feeling unwell?"

Granny Tao sat on the hospital bed, staring straight ahead, and said in a somewhat confused manner: "Master...Master is back, back from hell...No, it was me who never let her go, leaving her there to suffer..."

Naraku Hanako asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? Do you need to call a doctor?"

"She's back! She's back..." Granny Tao just murmured, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that. It was wrong..."

She looked into the distance, across time and space, and saw the person she had always been thinking about but wanted to forget.

At this time in [Hell], King Kong stared at the enemy who stood up from the coffin not far away as if he was facing a great enemy, and asked: "What is she looking at?"

The zombie just stared straight in a certain direction, as if it didn't take the exorcists in front of it seriously at all.

"Contact." Qian Xiaoyi explained: "Zombies are creatures that will immediately establish contact with their loved ones after waking up. Because of their loved ones' longing, zombies can exist. This is why raising corpses is called a sorcery."

"That is to say..." King Kong immediately understood the setting. After all, he had also seen those ghost zombie movies. He said, "Is the target of this zombie actually Granny Tao? A monster created out of longing, but its purpose is to kill the relatives who miss it. How ironic."
